    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am quite happy to confirm that no advocate should charge fees inconsistent with the Advocates Remuneration Order. That order is binding and every advocate should render a fee note on the basis of that order. Where there is a dispute between the advocate and his client, there are two avenues for redress. The client can file a bill for taxation before a taxing master or a registrar of the court and then the registrar will determine what is a fair fee in the circumstance. Secondly, the client can approach the ADT which itself has authority or power to tax a bill between an advocate and a client. This is one area that I think civic education would assist. I think my office, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the ADT ought to work together and I undertake that we will begin to do that going forward."
