    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The Senate improved the punishment from Kshs1,000 to Kshs500,000, if you commit an offence in the manufacturing or making fertilizers or if you sell fertilizers which do not exist or is poisonous. It is a very serious matter because if the fertilizer is poisonous, it is going to poison crops. If the foodstuffs that are manufactured are poisonous, the sentence in the original Act was Kshs1,000 and the imprisonment term was one month. Owing to the seriousness of the matter, which the Senate seems to have forgotten, we proposed to improve the fine from Kshs1,000. This was done in 1962 and so, we brought it to Kshs500,000. With regard to the imprisonment term, we moved from one month to two years or both, if somebody has committed an offence. That is the import of the amendment and that is why we made improvements on what the Senate seemed to have forgotten."
