    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think that this amendment is regrettable and ought to be opposed. What really Clauses 40(1)(2) are doing is putting an obligation on any public entity to which one belongs professionally to forward the information to the relevant authority. If I am a lawyer and I have been dis-barred by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), they should forward that information. You know, they are talking of a fair administrative procedure. So, if your professional body is not fair, you can go to court and challenge it. But if you are going to say that: “give us an accountant”, you are penalized by your organisation and we gloss over that, then we are putting the bar down on issues of integrity. I would, therefore, urge that we reject these two clauses. They are taking us back. We have already raised the bar by the initial amendments that we have passed. Let us not agree to go backwards. This is a terrible amendment."
