    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one can go to the Court of Appeal, but the final court in the land is the Supreme Court. Nobody should be prevented, especially when fundamental rights are injured, from going up to the Supreme Court to agitate and argue their case. The penalty under Article 43, given the magnitude of some of the transgressions we get from political bigwigs, a fine of Kshs500,000 is too paltry, in my view. I urge the Minister to relook at the offences he is creating, redefine them and give them differential penalties so that the greater the gravity of the offence, the higher the penalty. If we just say that anybody who commits an offence will be fined Kshs500,000, suppose you fill a form and give inaccurate information about yourself? That would be an offence that would carry Kshs500,000. Suppose you are so dishonest as to walk out of a party that nominated you to Parliament? That would even be a greater offence and such fellows should not be fined Kshs500,000. They should be dealt with in a greater manner than that. I beg to support."
