    "content": "Scrap metal and road furniture contributes a lot to this problem. In my own constituency, for example, people have lost jembe, sufurias and other items to metal dealers. So, it is important for us to come up with stringent measures to punish metal dealers who buy these stolen metal materials from these vandals. We should punish them very severely, so that we deal with this problem once and for all. I agree with hon. Njuguna that a penalty of Kshs500,000 for scrap metal dealers who buy stolen materials from the vandals is not adequate. I would want an amendment to be brought where these people should be fined not less than Kshs1 million and be jailed for not less than five years. Currently, we have good roads that are now being constructed in this country. Once guard rails and signboards are erected, these vandals come and vandalize them and sell them to scrap metal dealers. So, it is important that we come up with severe punishment for those people who deal with stolen scrap metals in this country."
