Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The first proposed amendment attempts to cure the lacuna that would exist with the use of the word “less than”. The word here is “less than”, which would imply that the exact amount of Ksh1 billion does...

Her concern was specifically on...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Nyikal may have got it all wrong again. We are not amending the term “not exceeding one million”. That has not been amended. We were amending the punitive timeline. The Act previously stated that a person would be imprisoned for a term of...
