Mutula roots for death penalty for the corrupt.

Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Mutula Kilonzo has proposed that those found guilty of corruption should be punished severely, including being sentenced to death.Mutula said the punishment will serve as a great deterrent to those who intend to engage in theft of public assets.He observed that countries like China have managed to eliminate corruption because of death penalty."The Philippines have a similar penalty for plunder of public resources. It is high time Kenya comes up with more severe penalties for corruption, so that we make it a life and death affair," said the Minister.Mutula made the remarks on Thursday when he opened a stakeholders’ forum on Ethics and Anti-Corruption Bill 2011 at the Sarova Panafric Hotel, Nairobi.
