    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this law is so fundamental. In fact, if you look at the architecture of the Constitution, as the hon. Attorney-General has mentioned, this is one office that clearly survived the change over from the retired constitution to this one. Therefore, it is fundamental that we enact this law now, and not tomorrow or next year, so that by the time the next Government is formed, hopefully as I expect by CORD, on 4th March next year, then there will be no doubt in anybody’s mind as to the functions of this very important office; the office of the legal advisor to the Government of the people of Kenya. Therefore, it is my pleasure and privilege--- I want to salute the hon. professor who is now my junior senior counsel, because he has been recognized. I want to salute him and congratulate him, but I will still remain his seniour although the law requires that he is the head of the Bar in the legal profession. So, it is my pleasure to recommend this law to the House and the country. I beg to second."
