    "content": "She is in that Committee and she is also a lawyer. So, it is like lawyers have sat together to review a petition that has been brought to this House. To simplify this Petition that was brought by Mr. Laban; Mr. Laban has found out that lawyers are making a killing through county assemblies. Lawyers are coming up with all sorts of services that they would like to render to the county assemblies. They have a very strong relationship; either a marriage or a mpango wa kando, which they have said they are going to work together. Mr. Laban, being an active Kenyan citizen who wants to see this country going in the right direction, has realised that we are losing a lot of money through this arrangement where, county governments are hiring lawyers to execute even just simple matters such as representation and mentions in courts and charging an arm and a leg. It has become a sort of a pool of cartels. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am pretty sure that when Mr. Laban brought this Petition to this Upper House, where he knew we were going to thoroughly look into this issue, he did not expect that it is the same lawyers who are going to receive that Petition. He did not expect that it is the same people who are making a killing, or at least are part of that industry, who are going to receive it."
