    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we have lawyers here and Hon. Cheptumo is representing them. It is good that this amendment which the Chairman is proposing is deleted. This amendment in the Bill gives the courts that handle succession disputes the discretion to exclude persons who are not members of the court or parties to the case from any proceeding. If you are not the court that is handling the matter and you are not a member of the people who are appearing before that matter, why should you go there? It is giving privacy. It is giving the people who are going to court on succession their rights. The Chair is saying that he wants every Tom, Dick and Harry to join the case, ask for objections and be enjoined. The import of the amendment in the Bill is very important. What the Chair is doing is good for the lawyers. This amendment is saying that the judge, court and people who are appearing in that succession dispute must be given their space. That is what it is saying. You are saying that we delete it."
