    "content": "Commissioner of Prisons, his or her representative shall be the secretary to this consultative committee. They will provide secretarial services because the matters that they are dealing with concern prisons. The other one is that we are proposing to delete paragraph (i) and replace it with a new paragraph. In (i), we propose to delete the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) as member of the consultative committee and replace him with a member of the Law Society. In fact, hon. Kajuju has just move closer to me and she used to be the representative of the Committee on Mercy. She was appointed by virtue of her being a member of the Council of the Law Society. So, we thought that a representative of the Council of the Law Society should be part of this. The DPP has already prosecuted that person and has ensured that the person has been jailed. So, to again follow the person all the way to prison is totally unfair. The person who is complaining may not think that they will find any justice. This will amount to double jeopardy; that you prosecute me and then you follow me all the way to prison. So, we thought that he should not be part of this because they are handling complaints."
