    "content": "I also appreciate the fact that there is an appellate process. This is not a first. We know that normally in most boards and councils there is always a disciplinary process and if one is not satisfied by the decision of the council in the first instance, then there must be another opportunity for one to appeal against that decision because we are human. A mistake can be committed at any one point or at any stage of that proceeding. I Hon. Agoi has also proposed that we have lawyers in this body or an assessor who is a qualified lawyer of not less than five years experience. It will be important because the description in the Bill states that the lawyer or the assessor may not be present. I would have proposed, as an amendment, that the presence of the assessor, who is a lawyer, is mandatory and therefore instead of using the word “may” it should be “shall” so that a lawyer who is qualified in legal proceedings and in legal provisions is able to guide the appeals tribunal so that they make decision that is within the law."
