"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I started off by declaring that I am not a lawyer and so, I am not an expert on matters of law. My position is that the intention is good. In fact, I am equating it, in a very simple way, to an employer appearing for justice before an employee. This is because magistrates and judges will be employees of the Judicial Service Committee. But I agree that by putting the word âlawyer,â that is not what the Constitution intends. I do not want to belabour the matter. I could have asked the Chair to allow me to substitute the word âlawyerâ with the word âadvocateâ as a further amendment, but in the circumstances, noting my position--- We will definitely have a clash of interests. There will definitely be problems of vested interests as we proceed, but in the circumstances, very reluctantly, indeed, I withdraw my amendment."
