That Sub-clause (2) deals with punishment in the event that you commit those offences. It provides that any officer of the Office of the Auditor-General who commits an offence under Sub-section (1) shall be liable and on conviction, pay a fine of not less than Kshs10 million. We thought that Kshs10 million is too high. So, the Committee proposed to reduce it to Kshs5 million which is also consistent with the next one, where the other officers in the entity being audited commit offences, those people will be punished Kshs5 million. We just want to make it consistent.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose that amendment. Where we are, it is already a criminal offence. You have been fined in a court of law Kshs5 million and imprisoned. Any serious professional body at that stage automatically should have disciplined you according to its ethics. Once you have been taken to court, fined and jailed, which other professional body, serious enough, can still entertain you in its profession? So, that amendment does not add any value.
