"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, actually I think that there is an even bigger fundamental flaw, with all due respect to hon. Gumboâs amendment. If you look at Article 171 of the Constitution with regard to the Law Society of Kenya, it says in Section (f): âTwo advocates, one woman and one man, each of whom has at least 15 yearsâ experience, elected by the members of the statutory body responsibleâ Hon. Gumbo is saying that he wants to insert a clause saying that instead of requiring two advocates, it will require a lawyer. That lawyer has not been defined. Would I be in order to suggest that this is an amendment that should be considered very carefully with circumlocution and suggest that my good friend reconsiders the matter together with Mr. Mungatana, so that we do not appear to be amending the Constitution. The Constitution requires two advocates and not a lawyer. For your information, a lawyer is very generic term that can include all manner of people, but your Constitution requires advocates. By that definition: âMust have practising certificateâ, meaning that they ought to appear before magistrates."
