    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to support the Bill concerning the Law Society of Kenya. It is a very important Bill for this country. It is going to guide one of the most important professions in our country. This is a profession that is growing in big numbers at the moment and it is very important for it to be regulated. As you are aware, the profession has the good side of it and the bad side of it. It has the good side that it defends justice for Kenyans who have been faced by injustices and also it has the bad side where clients have had problems with the lawyers. This is a law that is going to guide people in a manner that is going to make everybody benefit from that service of advocacy. This Bill is timely and should have been brought earlier than now, but I am very grateful that it has been brought now. It is going to guide this profession. I would like to thank the lawyers for the good elections that they conducted recently, where they elected a good speaker, a vice-speaker and a new representative to the Judicial Service Commission. I congratulate my friend, Ahmednassir for accepting defeat honourably and not complaining that he was not defeated in a good way. That shows maturity in that profession. It shows that people have grown up and are not like politicians. That is a part of life. There are people who accept defeat when elections are conducted fairly. This law is going to help in many ways. With those few remarks, I support."
