    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would want to urge my colleague to drop the amendment. I want to explain that the numbers do not affect the time-table. The reason for having the schedule of participants is because the civil society out there felt that if the Committee of experts is not guided on the people it should not leave out, then they cannot be guaranteed participation. It does not mean in any way that, for instance, that only those 30 organisations will be called. They will call more, but they will also include the 30 that have been named. For instance, Sir, I would have wanted to see the first indigenous Church in Kenya - the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA) - to be on the Schedule. But then, it is not possible to include everyone. So, even if we have the 30, many others will participate in the 3250 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 4, 2008 forums that the experts will hold. This Schedule is just a guidance so that the civil society out there, including the religious groups, can feel safeguarded by the Act that they will participate. So, it is not necessary to actually reduce or limit."
