    "content": "Those are the values that have been enshrined in this particular Bill. I am happy that these are the central tenets that are used in the legal practice to ensure that we represent our clients in the most suitable way. As proposed in the amendments, the LSK is expected to assist the Government in coming up with legislation that is relevant to the society. We are going through serious changes in this country, arising from the new constitutional dispensation. We have examined this Bill to assuage the fears of the gracious lady from Mbita, hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona. We have made recommendations in our Report to amend the Bill to ensure that the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson are from the opposite genders. The most interesting thing about the Council of the LSK is that we have not acquired affirmative action. In fact, men are in danger. At one time, there were more women than men. So, we did not see the need for stressing on gender balance. If you look at its composition at the moment, you will see that there is somehow a balance."
