    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the LSK is one society which is granted a great mandate by statute and, in fact, by law to guide both the Government and the public on matters relating to law, legislation and human rights. Of course, I agree that knowing the LSK of the past, we look back with a lot of nostalgia. Those are the days when great Kenyans like Dr. Gibson Kamau Kuria, hon. Paul Muite, the current Chief Justice, Dr Willy Mutunga and indeed Dr. Oki Ooko Ombaka, the late Member of Parliament for Gem chaired the LSK. Those are the times and the only forum which spoke for the rights of the Kenyan people against what was deemed to be a dictatorial regime, was indeed, the LSK. The LSK has been performing well. We are saying the LSK is dynamic and moving and as Parliament, we are saying it is time for us to reconsider and indeed by dint of this Bill revamp the Society."
