    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Chair. It is important. I know some Members may not have been here when we were in the Second Reading and, hence, are not following what we are doing. The current Act as it is says that for you to be registered as a student, you must be a member of the institute. That is what the current Act says. So, what this amendment is seeking to do is to create a new category for students’ membership. Then, further, in the event that, that student member is not employed, we are insulating them from being charged a fee. But for those who are employed, they should pay a fee. What we are basically saying is that as a student; somebody could be sitting for their Section 6 Accounting. He could be a senior accountant earning half a million Kenya shillings! Do you want to treat him in the same category as the young chap who just finished university and wants a career? That is not discrimination; it is protection of those who cannot afford.
