    "content": "In Part IV, we are looking at the legal education to be offered. The Bill provides for the courses, from certificate level to diploma and degree levels. These are the courses that I mentioned when I referred to the First Schedule. All institutions providing legal education will be required to provide those subjects. Before issuance of training licences, the Council must satisfy itself that the institutions actually meet the required standards in terms of training in the courses that students will undergo. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Part V, which comprises of Clauses 24-29, has the financial provisions. In Part VI, we are establishing the Legal Education Appeals Tribunal, because there will be those who will perhaps be aggrieved, if their training licences are revoked or if they are not issued with licences. They will have recourse to a tribunal, where they will appeal. So, this is a very important part of this Bill. The last part of the Bill provides for miscellaneous provisions and the transition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, time has come when we must have these two institutions separated, so that one can focus purely on training and the other one, play a regulatory role to uphold standards. The later institution will also have the powers to check the institutions that could give rise to quacks or half-baked legal practitioners, who are as dangerous as the quacks in the construction industry, who have taken shortcuts and used wrong materials, causing buildings to come down, leading to loss of lives in this"
