    "content": "human dignity, equity, social justice, good governance, human rights, integrity, transparency and accountability. Article 10 of the Constitution that has those values and principles makes the LSK Act as it is presently constituted, not wholly amendable to include them. That is why, in order to conform to the spirit of the Constitution, it became necessary to repeal that Act and put in place a very comprehensive legal framework that encompasses such values and principles. Hon. Speaker, there were reforms under the new Constitution like the reforms in the Judiciary. Once we reformed the institution of the Judiciary that we have today, it follows that we must also regulate and reform the private legal practitioners. So, in order to promote a sustained, fair, affordable and equitable access to justice in our country, LSK – which is an institution that I have a lot of respect for – needs to respond to the modern era of the concept of good governance. For example, the essential elements such as the administrative and the financial infrastructure of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) must be in consistence with the international best practices. The attributes and the functions of the LSK as prescribed in this Bill seek to facilitate and create an efficient and effective functioning of a professional body."
