    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the concerns of the Members are understandable given that there are certain professions that are not regulated. There are also cases where you are looking at technologists versus those who are regulated by an Act of Parliament. It clearly says here that, that particular profession has agreed to be regulated by an Act of Parliament in terms of the fees they charge. If that profession’s charges are not regulated by an Act of Parliament, then they are not using quality- based standards even if that profession was created by an Act of Parliament. There are certain professions whose fees have been determined. If you want to change that, for example, if lawyers want to stop being regulated in terms of the fees that they charge, they should amend the Law Society of Kenya Act. Each profession should amend their Acts, but you cannot create a law that negates other laws that currently exist. If we do so, we will be legislating in vain, which is why we were just recognising that, that law exists. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
