    "content": "and you round up all the CEOs and lock them up, chances are that, those CEOs did not even know that these fellows had accounts in their banks. Therefore, a bargain like that and deferring prosecution and making compensation like we have seen, is very important particularly when you are dealing with large corporates. However, deferring prosecution should also not be used to shield criminality, especially where there is serious evidence of corruption. You have heard of a case from Kitale in Trans Nzoia where I come from, a clerk made Kshs380 million in one-and-half years. He bought property in Mtwapa and many other places. When they caught up with him, he had no explanation. In the media, we have seen a chap in City Hall working for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), who was found with Kshs1.6 billion in the account and had no explanation. Such fellows should not be given the privilege of deferred prosecution. This is because on the face of it, it is clear criminal conduct on the part of the person."
