    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to first of all clarify what the Committee’s position was. We went through the various amendments in separate meetings. When it came to the issue of the meaning of this “committee” questions were raised why the Attorney-General was making this proposal. We had to arrange a meeting with the Attorney-General with a view to getting an explanation, but owing to the time limits, that never happened. As of the last minute, we indicated that we would stand opposed to the amendment pending an explanation being given. However, the only concern the Committee expressed was whether or not the independence and safe regulation mechanism of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) would be affected. When we had our last meeting, these explanations were given and, therefore, we are not in a position--- As of now we do not have ground to object to the amendment as proposed."
