    "content": "I can see the Minister and the Attorney General are here. I would like to commend their offices for coming up with this Bill. Ultimately, this Bill is supposed to bring order and discipline in the legal profession and practice. That means that the training at the Kenya School of Law must, as much as possible, be able to anticipate the kinds of acts that those who have been trained are likely to encounter. They are supposed to deal with acts of commission or omission. So, the law should be as comprehensive as possible, taking into account that it will not be very easy to come up with a law like this within a short time. The school was established in 1964. But it was only in 1995 that it was established under the Legal Education Act. It has taken us from 1995 to date to come up with this law. The training should be able to look into the multiplicity of issues that affect the law. That is because like I said yesterday, there are occasional undue influence activities or actions. There is occasional collusion. I say that in the case of those who practise law, advocates and other interested parties like auctioneers. They collude so that out of the proceeds that the auctioneers realize, they give back to the lawyers. So, it should be able to anticipate all that. We should also look at the society because it is getting sophisticated every time. We should be able to train people with the full capacity to be able to address this issue."
