"content": "I am looking at this recommendation and I think that we have not done a service to that petitioner. Previously, we never used to debate these petitions. However, it is important that we debate them, so that we can poke holes to the recommendations that have been given. The recommendations should have been far more reaching by capping the amount of money that county government can spend on outsourcing legal services. We should cap them to a maximum of Kshs100 million. The county governments should then use in-house lawyers or hire in-house lawyers if they do not have them. Does it mean that we cannot have lawyers who can argue cases better in a country where we have over 20,000 lawyers? In fact, when you look at it, most senior lawyers use junior lawyers to do all the dirty work just for the senior lawyers to be paid."
