    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I managed to agree with the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information but I want to disagree with them on this. We have passed laws in this Assembly where we will couch the terms of the law in broad terms taking into account any change that may happen in these kinds of organisations. When we talk of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) we hardly say “COTU”. We say “a body with the largest number of workers”. We have done that before. So, failure to name this institution, I do not think is incurable. We have done that with several other institutions in other laws we have made where we know the names and memberships of those bodies may change. As long as they represent the largest numbers in the sectors concerned, we have allowed this in many laws. This is not the first law we are allowing an organisation with such names. We never talk about the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT)."
