    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to talk about the Legal Education Act and the Kenya School of Law Act. Last year and last year but one, we have been trying to make reforms in this regard. We have been trying to ensure that the Kenya School of Law is able to run and run independently from the Council for Legal Education. The proposals made in this Bill are just meant to do that. They are also meant to streamline an issue that has been disturbing for a long time, where parents of students spent so much money out there to train them in law but, when they come here, they are not able to get admission to the School of Law so that they can become advocates. So, when this Bill will be passed, it will streamline that process. It will also strengthen the new institution - which is the Council for Legal Education - to enable it. As you know, the standards for legal training in this country have been going down. So, we need to strengthen the Council for Legal Education to enable it have capacity to supervise, control and apply discipline in the running of the faculties of law in this country."
