    "content": "we have right now is the law that is prescribing the minimum fine of Kshs10 million for a big multi-billion corporation. If you prescribe a minimum of Kshs10 million in the law, when those people are taken to court for violation of the same law, the courts will have authority to charge them any amount, for example, Kshs1 billion or Kshs2 billion. In this culture today as we speak, that is how we will encourage more graft in this country. But when we talk about a fine which is not exceeding this amount of money, then the courts will be limited. In essence, we will be transferring many problems and decision-making to the courts and give them unlimited jurisdiction with respect to the much they want to charge. That is not good for this country."
