Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I may not be an insurance expert, but I would imagine that insurable risks are explicit in the Insurance Act and various insurance policies. I would rather the amendment has reference to the Insurance Act and the risks provided for under it. That is my suggestion instead of talking about

In principle I support the proposed amendment but I just want to bring to the attention of the Chair of the Committee that there is an The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

Act of Parliament that is coming relating to accreditation, weights, measures, testing and everything. I do not know whether it is too late in the day instead of having direct reference to Kenya Bureau of Standards in relation to anybody that is authorised by law to provide accreditation and testing services. We have a Bill in the House at the Second Reading stage

If you allow, could I inform you? The truth of the matter is, what we have now is established by Legal Notice No. 50 or 55 of 2009. We are now in the process of bringing a substantive law and it is at public participation stage. So, I just wanted to draw the attention to the House that probably we could make it neater by generally referring to the relevant institution, circumstances will change.

I want to make a plea to the good lady, Hon. Jennifer Shamalla and I want us to look at where we are coming from. It is not common practice for a warehouse receipt to be used as a lien. This is because so far, it does not contain the same effect, gravity or weight like a title deed or title to property.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you will excuse me for my ignorance and you will allow me to use this as a learning process. I do not know whether this particular time, the Chair, at his own discretion, can again make a little addition to this particular amendment.

Is there a way the legal minds can assist us so that we link the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I can see the Chair is acknowledging that I would oppose the amendment. Once an agricultural product has left the farms, it is now a commodity to be traded. Looking at the arrangement of the systems in this country, it becomes the responsibility of the Cabinet Secretary in charge of trade. Giving the Cabinet Secretary in charge of agriculture the generosity and benevolence to either consult or not, is missing the interlink between production, marketing and trade. I oppose the amendment and request Members to oppose this amendment. It may have been well-intended but the impact ...

My sincere apology, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I left to attend to some matters when you were sorting out the membership of the Council. Seven is an inordinately high number. However important the matter is, I can assure you that you will never get a quorum of seven. I do not know whether that percentage relates to the total membership. What is the number of the members of the Council?
