    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 95 by inserting the words “or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or to both” in Sub-Clause (5). We are seeking to introduce a penalty, which includes imprisonment and to state the number of years for imprisonment if one fails to pay the fine. We do not want people to fail to keep registers because they will be engaged in other business where we do not know the shareholders and directors. So, we will be dealing with companies which are operating incognito. So, the reason why we are saying the offence should attract a penalty which should include imprisonment is that if you fail to pay the Kshs500,000 the courts should sentence you to imprisonment. There are people who may not be able to pay the Kshs500,000. Such people should be imprisoned or both circumstances may apply. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
