    "content": "professionals regulate themselves, there is better value because they are the professionals and they want to make things much better for their professions. Any time world over when Government has had to intrude into such management of internal organisations, they fail. Think of a situation that maybe the Attorney-General or the Solicitor General or somebody wants to regulate how the Law Society of Kenya must function including who and who not to give practice certificates in the legal fraternity. We hold no brief for being professionals. We are because that is what God made us to be but allow Kenyans to get best services from professionals. If they want to rein in and I know they have reined in… In fact, I have seen a Bill which has been published targeting lawyers. We will speak on it when the time comes. I do not know where the appetite for foraging on professionals comes from. Today, they are on lawyers, the next day on architects and on another they are on engineers. The other day they were on accountants. It can only be that there is an ulterior motive which is not advised or which does not come from a point of reasoning or a point of professional discussion."
