    "content": "Apart from generalities of the Act let me mention specific bits. I have been studying this law for the last three years. I brought it to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and I am happy that Hon. Duale through the Attorney General also came up with the same law which is 95 per cent the same. So, great minds speak alike and as I am seconding I would say, we must ensure it is independent enough. Section 3 of the Bill is about providing complementary roles of forensic medical science services to the police in handling investigations. We have to look at that language to ensure that the office is independent while complementary to the police and that police are not running parallel death investigations and interfering with the mandate and sphere of the National Coroners Service."
