"content": "Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 17 talks about vandalism and introduces penalties for it. It says- ―A person who willfully or recklessly destroys or damages any advertisement belonging to another person, commits the offence of vandalism and is liable, upon conviction — (a) in the case of a first offence, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding nine months, or to a fine not exceeding two hundred thousand shillings, or to both;‖ We are going to find ourselves in a tricky situation where our remands and cells will be full of people who maybe went and wrote something on a poster. For example, if one finds a poster somewhere talking of a witchdoctor from a certain part of the country, and one then writes something on it, that is vandalism and one can be jailed for nine months. We probably need to make references to the Penal Code, which already has provisions to deal with such matters."
