    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. To take it from where you left, we know that you are an accomplished lawyer and you know who your lecturer is - the legendary Hon. Boss Shollei. There has been an ongoing debate on Twitter about this lawyer called Brian who has won 24 out of 26 cases in court in one year, only for the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to realise that he has never been to law school. He is not a practising lawyer. The case has elicited international debate. The Daily Mail in the United Kingdom was talking about the fake lawyer who won 24 cases and the comments are very hilarious. They are saying that he should first of all represent himself in that court case and win against his own fake certificate. Hon. Atwoli weighed in and said that LSK should recognise his prior learning experience and admit him, but because we cannot change the law to accommodate him, I would encourage him to enrol at a law school. With his brilliance, I know he will complete studies in a few years’ time. This really shows us the opportunities that some Kenyans miss just because they did not go to a class. That does not necessarily mean that they are not intelligent. Although I pride myself on being an ‘A’ student, I usually say that passing exams is not a measure of intelligence. Brian is a very good example of that. One person said that all qualified lawyers who lost cases against Brian should be deregistered from the roll of advocates. How do you lose a case against a quack? But that is on a light note. I support this Bill."
