    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, on behalf of Mr. Angwenyi, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 15 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words \"five hundred\" and \"three years\" appearing in Sub-Clause (6) and substituting therefor the words \"fifty\" and \"six months\" respectively. The Clause, as is it in the Bill, targets a person who sells tobacco. He may be a small shopkeeper or a kiosk owner. Of course, he is committing an offence by selling cigarettes to a young person. I am not suggesting that we should excuse him or her. He may not even know the age of that person because he may not have asked for the identification card. That is also an offence. But the punishment is very high. We should not be seen to be punishing our people so high. I am seeking that we reduce the punishment figures accordingly, as proposed."
