    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is my great pleasure to second this very important Bill. The Kenya School of Law (KSL) has performed a very important historical assignment in this country. It started training lawyers in 1964. It has metamorphosized through several stages and it has now come of age. We need a new regulatory framework by which to manage this school. Currently, it has over 1,000 students per year. The quality of legal education is very important in the administration of justice in this country. If we demand of the judges the highest level of academic and intellectual preparedness, we must demand it of the lawyers. However, we must create a forum in which this can be attained. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill will take us a long way in professionalizing the legal profession. Hon. Members in the past have had occasion to express some concern about what has been perceived as some difficulties within the legal profession itself. This Bill is evidence that the Minister, and, indeed, the Government intends to improve the situation. I beg to second."
