    "content": "but I think this is something that we need to look at by amending the Advocates Act. Let us interrogate and see whether there are other ways of dealing with it other than bringing it through this process. I do not think this is a revenue-raising measure. For me, it is much more an issue, as one Member had indicated, touching on Article 35 of the Constitution on the right to privacy. When we want to limit the right to privacy, the Constitution is very clear about how we do that. We cannot limit the right to privacy or any other right by way of a miscellaneous amendment. Finally, I want to speak to the issue of the Banking (Amendment) Act, which is under Clause 43. You realise that if we pass the amendment to delete Section 33B of the Banking Act, then it means that all the work that Hon. Jude Njomo has done will be in vain, because then there will be nothing he is amending. I think the person who brought this was being mischievous. We know that, that provision has not been very popular. That is why it even found its way to the court. I would encourage Members to support Hon. Jude Njomo by ensuring that this proposed amendment does not see the light of day. With those few remarks, I beg to support with amendments. Thank you."
