    "content": "I want to persuade my colleagues on two facts only. First, people are fined if they fail to display their licences. We have to know that these are not the common mwananchi but big organisations. If they have licences, there will be no reason for them not to display them. It is impossible to know how many days one will have operated if their licences are not shown. Unless somebody says the licence expired and they assumed it, you will not have to calculate the number of days. The minute we say the fine will be a minimum of Kshs5,000, we are saying that somebody can go to court. The court may charge up to Kshs30 million. That is how graft is perpetuated. Our thinking was very clear that we must set a maximum limit so that it is clear from the word go. Those who fail to display their licences will definitely know the penalty. A penalty of Kshs1million is the maximum. It is the judge to decide the rest."
