    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 57 be amended— (a) by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following sub-clause— “(1) The Service shall, through regulation, develop and adopt criteria for accreditation of persons and institutions to provide legal aid services.” (b) in sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “the Cabinet Secretary, the Director of Public Prosecutions, public benefit organizations, faith based organizations” appearing immediately after the words “Attorney General” and substituting therefor the words “the Director of Public Prosecutions, public benefit organizations,” The Committee’s justification is that we require the Service to develop a criterion for accreditation of legal aid providers and to codify them in the regulations. We want to remove and reduce persons and bodies required to be consulted in the development of an accreditation criteria, in light of the proposed amendments to Clause 9. But we feel very strongly that there needs to be an accreditation process and procedure for legal aid providers to be provided for in the regulations. I urge the House to support the amendments that the Committee seeks in Clause 57."
