    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 53 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following sub- clause immediately after sub-clause (3)— “(4) Upon the withdrawal of legal aid, a legal aid provider shall apply for leave of court to cease providing legal aid services in the relevant case.” This is a consequence of what happens when legal aid services are withdrawn. One has to apply to the court to withdraw legal services or to be allowed not to provide legal services anymore. That should cushion Hon. Okoth’s earlier amendment that it is upon leave of the court. If the court feels that there would be prejudice against somebody, the court can make any other decision. However, for the purpose of this clause, a legal aid service provider should be allowed to apply, with leave of the court, to be allowed to withdraw legal aid services."
