    "content": " I just want to make two comments briefly relating to the so-called repetition in d(i) and d(2) about law. My colleague, Hon. Omulele, has made it very clear. This body is a custodian of accreditation and standards in this country. Naturally, you will need somebody with a legal background. In the event we do not get somebody under category one, then under category two, we will get a lawyer so that we are able to cover that skill that is required to protect the interest of this country. Secondly, the country and the world have changed. The issue of being too restrictive in particular aspects is an outdated practice. I would rather call accreditation a moving target. Issues to be accredited will be important today and tomorrow, and they will be completely different issues. So, if we tie ourselves to such a restrictive area, we will get to a point that we are unable to move because we do not have some skills in the Board. In any case, the actual process of accreditation will be conducted by the accreditation advisory committee which has the option to co-opt members. So, in the event an application has come and they do not have adequate skills in the Board or the Service, they will be able to co-opt all the various professional bodies which Hon. Washiali and Hon. Millie Odhiambo purport to cure by their amendments. Thank you."
