    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just imagining a situation of the educational and the professional qualifications that people attain. In every profession, it is the best or those who are very knowledgeable in areas, or those who are very qualified and experienced who eventually bring in bad habits. We do not see this happening in offices of very junior people. They do not get themselves involved in corruption or bad practices like planning to steal from clients. I think it is done by people who are very knowledgeable and experienced. So, I was just imagining a situation where we have had institutions which are supposed to aid these professionals to work. For example, we have had the Complaints Commission in this country where individuals who are aggrieved are supposed to report their grievances. However, I do not think these institutions are strong enough to address the complaints that are raised. Sometimes these complaints are thrown away without a thorough follow up. I think this is so because of lack of capacity. Otherwise, if we can discipline these individuals who practise law, other people will be careful when dealing with them. There should be very good linkage between this profession and others so that whoever involves himself in the acts of omission or commission is thoroughly punished. Such kind of punishment will make other people refrain from such activities."
