"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another red flag is on the matter pertaining to legal education. There are two Acts which touch on legal education. We have the Kenya School of Law Act, 2012. The second one is the Legal Education Act. The reason I am of the view that these two Acts need to be re-looked at is because they will dilute the calibre of people who will join the legal profession. Under the current laws, before you are admitted to the KSL you need to have minimum requirements or qualifications. These are an aggregate of C+ or its equivalent and score B (plain) in English. If these proposals go through, it will mean that anyone with a law degree from anywhere can be admitted to the KSL notwithstanding what that person got at the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). Therefore, there will be a possibility of a person who had an E or a D, but has a degree from I do not know which university joining the legal profession."
