    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose the amendment by hon. Keter. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the emphasis in his amendment is people with expertise in marketing, production and distribution of breast milk substitutes, nominated by the Kenya Association of Manufacturers. There is conflict of interest. For example, the amendment that the Minister has just moved is bringing in a representative of the Principal Secretary in the Ministry for the time being responsible for matters relating to trade, which now takes care of all trade related issues and at the same time, two other people with relevant experience in infant and young child feeding, appointed by the Cabinet Secretary. So, there is already a route for getting people from KAA, through trade or Cabinet Secretary and not necessarily experts in marketing. When you now limit it to experts in marketing, you are bringing into a regulatory body, the exact people who are going to be regulated and there will be a deadlock through and through. So, let us adopt what we have already agreed on and drop this amendment because of a potential conflict which could arise, especially with the narrow definition of the people that you would want to introduce."
