"content": " A time comes when you want to go by what the law says. I want to talk to my learned friend, Hon. Nyikal. He is very learned because he has gone to school longer than me. I think the Member for Suba North did not look through to see the exact portion of the amendment. As has been said by the Member for Homa Bay, in some way, we are pushed by other considerations and not the law. Just allow me because this is the first time I am agreeing with the Leader of the Majority Party. On what the Act says, I have used my good gadgets here, which a few of us can use. If you can flip through and get the Act then you will see subsection 2 is like a disclaimer to subsection1. That, any payment made by or on behalf of an adoption society in respect of maintenance of a child who has been placed in the disposition of the society... To me this is good law because it means that it will be an offence if you make payment to the adoption society. I think (c) and (d) say the same thing. In fact (d) speaks about an advocate who acts for a party and so on. I am an advocate and here I am saying making it an offence. In this case I want to go with the Committee which is to make the amendments as proposed in the Order Paper."
