    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Law Society of Kenya Bill. When we take a look at the majority of the laws that we have in this country, they are outdated. Many of them are from 1906 and 1946, way before many of us in this House were born. We cannot continue to operate with some of those outdated laws. The new LSK Bill that is being introduced will provide many opportunities for training. As has been eloquently put by the previous speaker, when we look at the training opportunities and the recognition for the performance of social work within the county, we find that it will be an important aspect for people who provide community service to the public of Kenya to be recognized. In this country, performing Public Service is deemed as some sort of disease or you are looked at as a pariah for performing duties that are selfless. This recognition within this Bill will come in very handy. Not only that, it will also support a lot of activities within our counties especially those who have been elected and who have performed their work previously within the legal profession and provided community service. With those remarks, I support this Bill and encourage the Members to do so."
