    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I speak not necessarily as the Committee, but to probably just give some background information. I have no problem with all the amendments under 13(b) and (c), but with amendment to Clause 13(a), where the Member is saying that we add the word “law”. I am not an expert in legal drafting, but I have this view that the implication is the appointing authority could as well appoint an advocate or lawyer to head the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) as a CEO. Truly speaking, and I want the Member to consider, the bulk of the work that is going to be done by KENAS is going to be of technical nature, scientific business processes and others. If by any chance the appointing authority exceeds or does not see that point of view and appoints an advocate, I am not in any way meaning they do not have capacity to understand science and other issues, we could have a body that is generally incapacitated in terms of decision-making and undertaking their functions. That is my view. Yes, it is okay, but that is the reality and implication unless the amendment comes with a rider that, that person must have some technical knowledge in science and business processes. Thank you."
