    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you were not on the Chair, maybe you would have opposed this amendment. This country requires such professions. Highly developed countries have layman judges and magistrates in courts. This is a much lower court which will be handling small cases. A procedure is a basic thing to understand and apply. To say that it is only lawyers who can apply procedures, regulations, rules and the law is unfair to people who are able to interpret the law. Some Members of this House who do not belong to the legal profession might interpret the Constitution and the law better than some traditional or conventional lawyers. I still think that this opportunity needs to be reinforced. I still pursue that the amendment be taken on board."
