    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 17 talks about registration of foreign contractors. I think that is what I have tried to emphasise. Clause 21 is generally about inquiries by the Board. It talks about penalties to be levied to a person who does not heed the inquiries by the Board. The penalty put here, to me--- Contractors are not poor people. They are some of the wealthiest people in the country. When you say that by refusing to comply with the inquiries of the Board you are going to merely charge them Kshs10,000 or one year imprisonment or both, I think we are encouraging impunity. My suggestion at the Committee Stage will be that we push that to Kshs1 million and three years imprisonment or both. I will suggest that. Then Sub-clause 9 of that Clause--- I think there is a drafting error there. It says: “direct the to”. I think it meant to say “direct the contractor to”."
