    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are also some amendments proposed to the Advocates Act. This amendment is actually to provide an answer in the Advocates Act for the regulations which have already been drafted by the Law Society of Kenya. The answer is that there is a category of persons who will be conferred the title: Senior Counsel through the Chief Justice. As I speak today, I think we are only two senior counsel in this House. There are many advocates, but we are only two senior counsel. The Attorney-General is a senior counsel and Mr. M. Kilonzo who will second this Motion is a Senior Counsel. We really became senior counsel because at one time or another, we were the Chairmen of the Law Society of Kenya. We have very many lawyers in this August Assembly who actually qualify to be senior counsel. We must have regulations, criteria and so on, which if they satisfy, they can now have the honour to be granted the title senior counsel."
