    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 16 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (1) ─ (a) by deleting the words “being not less than ten thousand shillings” appearing in paragraph (m) and substituting therefor the words “not exceeding five hundred thousand shillings”; (b) by deleting the words “National Transparency and Accountability Standards” appearing in paragraph (p) and substituting therefor the words “national values and principles”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this amendment seeks to align the provisions with the sentencing guidelines, which set out the ceiling with no minimum penalties. For example, when you talk about a fine of not less than Kshs10,000 it means that the fine can go up to Kshs20 million or a billion shillings. We want to set specifics. In this particular case, the penalty will not exceed Kshs500,000. We did this in the previous Bill. It is a standard practice in enacting laws.
