    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to support the Minister. But I have a problem with what she has just said. When she says that, by us indicating that they will be 30, it does not limit that particular number, it worries me because we have gone ahead and created the Fourth Schedule, in which we are very specific. We have said: \"Organisations to choose representatives to the Reference Group\". So, since they are named in the Schedule, anybody who does not appear on that Schedule will be a stranger! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am saying this because we have to think out very well, even if we leave out the figure of 30 to be the number of people representing organisations. With all due respect to the Committee and also to the Minister--- Look! The Federation of Women Lawyers, in my mind, I know it is made up of lawyers. Then, on the same Schedule, we have the Law Society of Kenya and the Magistrates and Judges Association. We are drawing from the same mind of people! When you go further, we also have very resourceful groups of Kenyans who have been left out there. I have in mind the Kenya Medical Association. Unless some people in this Parliament think that doctors have no way they can input in this process--- Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am also aware of the Kenya Engineers Association and the Kenya Architects Association. So, I propose that we have a look at it carefully before we move on to look at the Fourth Schedule which we intend to amend."
