    "content": "When we were discussing that proposal in this House last time, some Members felt that the death penalty was too harsh. Assuming that the same notion prevails here, we can talk of capital punishment in terms of life imprisonment. We have seen societies which have taken a strong position on the issue of corruption. China has a very strong anti-corruption zeal. A few years ago, China was a back quarter society, but it is now one of the richest countries in the world. Another example is Singapore. So, I urge hon. Members to have a President Duterte moment in this House by taking a strong action not only on matters of law and order, but also on matters of corruption. This Bill may be what the gods have decreed for Kenya so that we can become a better society. I urge hon. Members to amend the law, particularly in the areas of the penalties, and ensure that we firm up our penalties."
