    "content": " I still think that at some point this Bill must have passed me. It is one of those Bills that we should have put amendments on. I think at some point, Leader of the Majority Party, it will be good to have a Bill which tries to harmonise as much of these sentences as possible. What will happen here is, in the case of a person who is not a natural person, meaning like a company, it will be fined Kshs5 million. What will happen to a natural person? He must go to prison for a term. There is no opportunity for a fine. This is what this legislation is saying. In other words, it is punitive. You must suffer custodial sentence. There is no opportunity for a fine. See how punitive it is. It looks like water which has passed down the bridge. I think there is necessity to harmonise this legislation.
