    "content": "Regional integration banks on only one thing, which is the goodwill of the sister States. Kenya being a big brother in the region ought to be the one leading the way in terms of goodwill. When we block out opportunities for our brothers who are in this region, we will also be victims of the principle of compensation. The other States will block out people from Kenya to practise not only in legal affairs, but also in businesses and any other issues that can lead to disintegration of the region. Historically, this country had people who served in the Judiciary who do not even belong to the region. Traditionally, we saw even chief justices of this republic being sourced from as far out as the Caribbean Region and West Africa. If people who are not Kenyans can serve in offices as high up as the Chief Justice, then there should not be any reason why we should not admit lawyers from the neighbouring countries to the Kenyan bar. As I always say, politics will catch up to the cultural issues in this region. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
