"content": "Hon. Speaker, I indicated an intervention when hon. Mbadi was speaking regarding the poor status of the Legal Department. I was concerned that he had used the wrong word by saying that the Legal Department was wanting. I wanted him to use the word “inadequate” instead because using the word “wanting” is claiming that the officers are not competent. I am conversant with the fact that they are very competent. What we are lacking are the numbers. The numbers are really important because the quality of some of the Bills we are being given is wanting. They have so many grammatical and typographical errors that if we do not have a legal counsel sitting in the Committee as we review Bills, we will not be able to do justice to the Bills and bring out quality Acts of Parliament. Therefore, I agree with hon. Mbadi that we really need to do something very fast, so that we can be serviced by persons from the Legal Department. Hon. Speaker, now that I am on the Floor, I can contribute on the matter raised by hon. Jakoyo Midiwo."
