    "content": "On Part VII which also talks about safety of nuclear facilities, noting the adverse effects that nuclear materials can have on human beings, the penalty that has been proposed under Part VII, Clause 43(7) is inadequate. When someone contravenes this law and only faces two years imprisonment or a fine of Kshs1 million, that is very minimal in my observation. Someone who is likely to maim people for life or cause death and contravenes safety issues in the Bill and is only likely to face two years imprisonment is something we need amended. We can have someone either facing life imprisonment or someone paying a hefty fine that makes it impossible to settle, thus forcing that person to live in jail. This is because the person is likely to cause death to many lives or cause long-term effects like maiming people. Going forward to the Committee Stage, I will consult the Chairman and the Committee to see whether we can have an amendment on that area."
