"content": "to withdraw the proposed amendments to the Act. The Attorney General insisted, but I think we have agreed on the position of the AG that the scope of the proposed amendment is to mandate the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to issue every advocate registered with them a stamp and seal bearing the advocates name, the admission number, and the year of practice to be affixed on every document drawn from such advocates. The intent of the amendment is to allow for independent verification at any given time of persons entitled to practise law in Kenya. We have so many quacks. Even in our constituencies, there are those who refer to themselves as Members of Parliament. Once one looks like Jakoyo Midiwo, they call themselves Hon. Jakoyo, and there are even those who use my name in every office they go to. This is to make sure that Kenyans are not conned and when they get a service of a lawyer, the seal, the stamp and the admission number is on his letter head. I beg to move."
