    "content": "a procurement offence you do not even wait for the police. You actually commit suicide. You jump from the roof of the building in which you committed corruption because the Government is going to come after you. We need penalties that are tight. We want to look at the option of removing a fine. If you look at Clause 177 where the fine for procurement offences is only Kshs4 million, what we are saying is that it is better for you to commit a procurement offence in, for example, a contract of Kshs100 million and pay the fine. If we are to help our country in these matters of procurement, I think we need to eliminate the option of a fine. If you are convicted for a procurement offence, your penalty should be imprisonment. There should be no fine because fines just encourage people to use and commit procurement offences."
