"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General has said as he protects the litigants, he knows he is also under duty to protect legitimate fees charged by the advocates. We have a problem in this country; that the Attorney-General, whom I know is very capable, can help us. The problem is that there is never an agreement of what that fee would be and when the cases are finished. The advocates take what they want. One of the Nyayo House Torture Chamber victims told me only today that he was awarded Kshs1.5 million but the advocate now wants Kshs1.2 million. In the rules that guide lawyers, there is a formula on how lawyers are supposed to charge for work done. Could the Attorney-General commit himself to immediately publish that formula so Kenyans know? It should be an agreement because there is already a formula in law."
