    "content": " Hon. Chairman, I believe the four issues that are being paraphrased as a paraphrasing of L are already provided within Clause 5. So, I urge that instead of us splitting hairs on which is a better version of the other, we go for the generic issues already contained in the Bill and only add what is not there. Those four are already there in different wordings. I want us to make progress on this, not just for purposes of who amended and who did not amend, but by just looking through the Bill and what is being provided. If it is the same but in different words, then we need to be clear that we need to amend somewhere else rather than adding what is already in E, which is: “Promote reading for knowledge”. Let me just give an example, when you look at the Bill at Clause 5(e), it reads, “to promote reading for knowledge, information, and enjoyment through stimulation of public interest in books and participation in campaigns for the eradication of illiteracy.” When you come to what Hon. Odhiambo-Mabona is saying, that is to delete L and then provide for L(b), “to promote a reading, writing and publishing culture among Kenyans”, it is the same thing. Now we are adding it in L, and it is already in E. We are duplicating the same thing. You could do the same for all these things. So, I urge that we are adding no value through these extra amendments. They are already provided for."
