    "content": "Today, or in the next few weeks or so, unless maybe something drastic happens, he going to serve a civil jail term. Initially, when someone took him to the High Court, I think the award was Kshs3 million. He went to the Court of Appeal and it went to the highest court. Today he is expected to pay Kshs10 million. Plus interest, I think, it will be about Kshs30 million for utterances he made within the precincts of Parliament. Therefore, because all of us are vulnerable, we felt as a Commission that taking into account the provisions of Article 117, this Bill should have been enacted in the last Parliament. It should have been in place at the beginning of the 11th Parliament, but because it did not happen, as a Commission we sat down and came up with this Bill."
