    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wanted to know whether his amendment is touching on a further amendment I wanted to make. I have no problem if he is adding lay people because my proposed amendment was to delete the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), which is restrictive. Sometimes when you give LSK the mandate, they will appoint lawyers who may not necessarily be interested in that. However, when you give room to lay persons, then it will cover the area of concern. It is okay if he is adding and giving room for more people to come in. I know I am the one who moved that amendment but when I was thinking about it later, I thought that putting the LSK may be restrictive. Lawyers who have expertise in this are very few and some of them are not practising. I know one of them who is excellent in this field but she is not a practising lawyer. She is actually in medical legal practise. So, if we had suggested in a restricted manner, she may be excluded."
