Gatundu North MP Wanjiku Kibe is now proposing life sentence for people convicted of corruption-related offences.
Kibe said that it is time the country reviewed the law on economic crimes.
She argued that the current law is not stiff enough and has thus given greedy public servants time and space to loot taxpayers' money.
Speaking in relation to the Sh9 billion NYS scandal and the other, recently exposed corruption scandals, the Jubilee MP said that provision of stiffer penalties will deter people from stealing from public coffers.
“The law should be reviewed especially when it comes to bond and cash bail aspects,” she said.
The MP observed that some greedy public servants loot taxpayers' money knowing that the courts will grant them bond or bail.
“We need to seriously review the bond and cash bail if we need to tame corruption once and for all. Looters use corruption proceeds to free themselves,” she said.
She asked the government investigative agencies to move with haste and ensure that state officers named in graft scandals are charged in court, adding that Kenyans have to unite and support the fight against graft.
“We should keep tribal politics aside and confront corruption because it does not know our tribes,” she added.
On Monday several top government officials linked to the fresh Sh9 billion NYS scam were arrested.
The officials among them Public Service Principal Secretary Lilian Mbogo Omollo and NYS Director General Richard Ndubai and others will be arraigned before Milimani Anti-corruption court today (Tuesday).
