    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am taking a bit of time because Hon. Fatuma has been saying that the 18 lawyers in our Committee behave like they are more important than the rest who are not lawyers. We recognise every other person’s profession, but for purposes of arbitrating or deciding on conflicts, this is a matter that requires legal training. As Hon. Fatuma has just said, she was thinking that there are fewer lawyers. Maybe with the information that I have given her now, that in the previous year and last year, we had over 800 lawyers admitted as advocates, she will understand. This year alone, we are going to admit over 1,000lawyers. Every university now including Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) University is now offering law. We have a minimum of ten universities offering legal education. These universities have opened law schools. If the question is about shortage of lawyers, it may not be relevant right now.
