    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to add some voice to what the Minister has said. First of all, as an accountant and somebody who has been involved in the drafting of this legislation since 1994, I just wish to clarify to hon. Baiya that, indeed, the current Act, the Accountants Act, has separated those functions with the registration processes being done by the Registrations of Accountants Board, which is very distinct from the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). It is also very distinct from the Kenya Accountants and Secretaries National Examinations Board (KASNEB). By putting them together, as proposed in his amendment, it will actually negate the independence that is being sought at the point of an accountant who has passed his examinations, who would determine who is registerable as an accountant, if it is your own colleagues? So, by creating a separate registration committee which, actually, has people outside the core institute, you will actually not find anyone being told: \"We cannot register you because we do not like your face or because there are so many accountants now, we must put a cap!\" So, that is the spirit in which this amendment came in, and I would urge him -"
