    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to speak, not on my proposed amendment but the amendment by Mr. Bett. We now want to use the Floor of this House, when you are the chairman, to erect points of contention that will slowly build up in the public and eventually become big issues. If we think that we have not sufficiently consulted, either as a Ministry or the Departmental Committee, there is room for us to pause and allow for consultation. I support this amendment because if we drop those two, we shall have created room for us to do two things. We would either pick out on the Kenya Medical Association (KMA) and bring it in, as I proposed in my amendment or in the position left we include a clause that will accommodate what the Minister said. In other words, this Committee identified in Clause 21, that we will invite any other association. So in that Schedule, there should be number 30 that would read:- \"Any other association\" So that when they are there, they can chose KMA, architects or engineers. Otherwise, Minister, if you are going to erect points of contention here, you are quickly forgetting what happened to us in Bomas. In Bomas, we felt that we were strong Ministers of the Government and did not realise that the public was with the Opposition then. When we went to the referendum, we lost an opportunity. These are really small things, let us tidy them up, allow the house to look good and give it to the public. I support the amendment."
