    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. First of all, I wish to thank LSK for conducting very credible elections and, more so, for electing one of my constituents namely, Prof. Tom Ojienda, to represent the LSK at Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Secondly, if you look at Clause 4, it talks about the LSK assisting to set, maintain and continuously improve the standards of learning within the line of the lawyers. However, what the LSK needs to do in addition to improving the standards of learning is to check on the Kenya School of Law. It is becoming very expensive for poor students from our constituencies to join the Kenya School of Law because of the fees. So, we are pleading with LSK, as much as they want to improve the standards of learning, not to bring hindrances or barriers to children from poor families. If you look at Clause 6, the LSK has come out in the open in the past to protect public interest. I want to thank the LSK for coming out loudly and opposing anything that is unconstitutional or any office that is not doing the right thing. I want to say big congratulations to the LSK for coming to protect the interests of the common mwananchi who might not have the knowledge or the money to voice their interests.
