    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with the Member for Homa Bay on the penalties he prescribes for contempt of court. First and foremost, he has explained very well that the contempt of court does not remove one from the realm of criminal liability. Therefore, when we talk about assault, that can be handled through criminal courts, but contempt of court, since it is dealt with by the judge instantly--- There is a charge sheet on contempt. We do not again want to penalize a person who, perhaps, gets angry in court and clicks, then he or she is held in contempt of court and gets a fine of between Kshs500,000 to one million shillings. In my opinion, Hon. Kaluma is trying to protect the dignity of the courts and, at the same time, make litigants and those who are in court comfortable and know that they are in good hands. I support his amendment. I do not want him to make further amendments to the penalties that he is prescribing. They are good enough."
