    "content": "(f) deleting sub clause (13) As you know corruption has become a very serious problem. We are seeking to increase the penalties and to give discretion to courts. If you tell one to pay Kshs1 million when they have stolen Kshs50 million, what really is that in relation to the amount that they have stolen? So as to become a deterrent, we give the courts discretion to levy a penalty of a maximum of Kshs 5million. They can levy Kshs2 million or Kshs3 million but that is at their discretion. We want to increase the penalties to Kshs5 million. We are deleting the words “less than” and replacing them with the words “not more than”. Ordinarily, it should not be “not more than”. That is the correct drafting process. We are cleaning up the Bill."
