    "content": "“A person who contravenes this section commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding two hundred thousand shillings and subsequently to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand shillings for every month the person fails to comply with the provisions of this section.” I think this is very minimal, which is then a cumulative fine upon conviction. There is no jail term that has been put there, but only a fine. Who will be responsible for this enforcement? Who will supply the money for this enforcement? Clearly, this Bill gives responsibility to the CEC and the provision for that responsibility is clearly stipulated in Clause 5. The CEC can put pavements but somebody may not follow what they are required to do. So, it is important to specify exactly who in this Bill has the responsibility for enforcement. If it is left neither here nor there, then the CEC might not be in a position to steer the process. That is one provision that needs to be clearly stipulated. We need to know who should do what and with which funds because somebody may say they do not have the funds to do something. We need to know who will do what, with what funds and how the funds will be provided within the county framework. It is possible for people to do that. The level of tidiness and order is what will attract people to the counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
