(Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o, is addressing the issue. In many legislations, “notwithstanding” is a very common word. However, if indeed, this matter is as grave as my friend, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o thinks, in good spirit, what we should do then, is we pass this law and once we have passed it and it has been signed, this is a very simple thing to change. Let us bring an amendment and change it because the problem is that the spirit of good faith is unfortunately not there. Therefore, what I would propose in good faith is that let us pass the law and bring an amendment after the law has been passed to address that issue."}
