"content": "Hon. Speaker, as I go to the recommendations, allow me to say that the 10th Parliament passed the Judicial Service Act. Records in this House show that when that Act was passed, I pronounced myself to my objection to the fact that the two members of the Judicial Service Commission are members of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) who are practising advocates. This House, as the law making body of this country, must pronounce itself on this matter because over time, I see lawyers whom nobody knows much about, the moment they become members of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), their profiles just balloon. I find it such a contradiction that the JSC can purport to be investigating a matter of impropriety involving a member of the public and yet, one of the people sitting in judgement is a lawyer for that individual. This is a conflict of interest."
