    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am a bit worried. I agree with the spirit behind that amendment, but when you just leave it as “elected leaders”, it is open-ended. When you look at the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), their leaders are also elected. When you look at all other groups that he has mentioned, members are also elected. It needs a bit of justification, so that we do not bring in confusion. In any case, when you talk of elected leaders, are you also talking of the county elected leaders, namely the MCAs? There are Members of the National Assembly and the Senators. We do not want this to bring confusion. The Senate will say that it has not been consulted and the Bill has not gone to the Senate. It is my humble request that hon. Kamama looks at this in terms of doing the cost-benefit analysis, so that there is clarity before we dispense with this matter. It might be opening another pandora’s box."
