    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is the issue of morals. Our morals are also rotten. That is why it is impossible to apply the law. You find that there is collusion between those who the law is supposed to apprehend and the lawyers. I am also told that the law that we made here sometime regarding the auctioneers, there is a lot of collusion. When they collect money or whatever they realise, it is shared between them and the lawyers. That is the conduct or the practice outside there. So, I hope this Bill will address the issue of professional practice and conduct outside the Kenya School of Law. If it does not do so, the issue of greed will persist because it has become an issue of human nature in Kenya. We have been told that there were two wazungus in the university who were leading modest lifestyles. We had a very senior person in the university who had one car and a house. But today, people want to have ten houses. I do not know for what purpose somebody wants to have ten houses. I am being reminded that, also, one wants to have ten wives. I do not know whether the women also want to have ten husbands. I think it is the moral conduct of the people we must address. There must also be provisions for these people to be exposed to training from time to time in order for them to renew their licenses. We must have continuous training, so that people can be tested. Those who are found to have violated some of the requirements should not be allowed to continue practicing law. I think the measures to apprehend this must be punitive enough in order for those who are culprits not to continue in the practice."
