    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is an amendment Bill before the House. That amendment Bill carries Section 3. The amendments we are discussing were negotiated between the Committee, the Minister and the Vetting Board. The reason the Minister carried this amendment is that we had agreed with him in Mombasa--- Hon. C. Kilonzo will bear witness that this was not acceptable. However, in introducing the amendments, it was carried the way it was originally. So, we agreed with him that there should be no defects arising out of vacancy in membership. However, part (b) sounds too far-fetched because of the litigation surrounding the actions of the Board. It say:- “A defect afterwards discovered in the appointment or qualifications of the membership of the Board.” This sounds to be inviting too much litigation. We retained “No act or proceedings of the Board shall be invalid by reason only of a vacancy in membership”. We agreed with him that part (b) as it appears on the Order Paper be deleted. Therefore, I support his proposal that Clause 3 be amended as moved by hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona, but be further amended by deleting part “b”."
