    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand guided. However, my point is very strong. What I am trying to say is that if a matter is brought to this Floor, and it is a discussion on a specific area of interest, where as a Member--- In fact, if the clerks can assist me, there is a Standing Order where Members are supposed to openly say that they cannot discuss a matter because they might have conflicting interest. What I want the public to know is that I am disappointed that when the Petition was brought to this House, it was quickly directed to the JLAC Committee. My point here being that we are having an issue where we are saying there are legal firms and lawyers who have become over-ambitious. They have decided that they would rather even take 10 per cent of work from a specific area, a majority of their work being from the county assemblies. As much as we want to skirt around this issue and go with the Standing Orders, if we were to interrogate the beneficiaries of the over Kshs1 billion that is coming from the Nairobi City County, some of the lawyers who are benefiting from it, I am almost 75 per cent sure that we are going to find our practicing colleagues in it."
