    "content": "The second issue was the issue of the fact Mr. Pravin Bowry was an advocate for a number of individuals and institutions that were on the receiving end. We wanted to know; did they consider in handling these matters, whether that was a bar to his acting? It is important to know that Mr. Bowry acted in a professional capacity. He was not himself accused of corruption. He was not himself an accused person. He was acting as a lawyer for people who were accused of these things. It is the law that one is entitled to representation by a lawyer. Indeed, in certain cases, the State is obliged to give you an advocate on public finances. So, we wanted to see whether that was going to be bar for him to act in this matter. Did they take into account, what hon. Nyamweya had said? They said they were, indeed, aware. They were so much aware that the case that sent the earlier Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC) home was actually handled by Mr. Bowry. They said it is specifically for that reason that they needed him. They have so many constitutional applications to try and stop the Commission from doing its work, that they needed an advocate of the standing of Mr. Bowry, who knew the workings of the anti corruption regime to assist the Commission in building up its legal portfolios."
