    "content": "other critical needs. This is why we must take this matter seriously because we are losing a lot of money in this manner. I commend the Governor of Nairobi City County for taking proactive steps to address this issue. He has demonstrated leadership by recently increasing the number of in-house lawyers in Nairobi County. He has hired 60 additional lawyers to bring the total to 84. This move aims at reducing the funds spent on lawyers in the name of legal fees. I do not want to delve into the debate on how these fees are determined, whether the remuneration order is adhered to or how these amounts are calculated, as my colleagues have already addressed these points. However, I want to draw the House's attention to the fact that counties are losing significant amounts of money through fraudulent legal fee claims. It is up to us to take action. Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether we will revisit the report prepared by the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, of which I am a member. Clearly, it has become unpopular on the floor. I do not know who will provide direction on the next steps, whether it is you or another authority. However, we must develop a report that reflects the situation on the ground and how we will manage these legal fees in future. Thank you."
