(Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":" Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, he is actually losing me with his comments. I am proposing a further amendment to drop the word “co-option”. Co-option is bringing in members in a manner other than what is provided in the law. If you say that the Board members will be brought in competitively or be appointed then you co-opt somebody, it means that that person will not go through the process. Nonetheless, I hope that the persons who will undertake this task will look at the legislative history and have the wisdom to know that it is important to have a lawyer with expertise in intellectual property."}
