The punishment here can mean being shot on sight, tried and put in custody or imprisoned for many years and, therefore, losing one’s life on this earth.

• 11 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that clarification. It is, indeed, a very sad day that we have to come here yet again and speak on the unwarranted loss of lives of many Kenyans through an accident. This is not the first time this has happened.
