    "content": "Hon. Members, Standing Order 225(2)(b) requires that the Speaker reports to the House any Petition other than those presented through a Member. I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my office has received a Petition signed by Ms. Mercy Wambua, on behalf of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). Hon. Members, the Petitioner avers that the provision on Article 171(2) (f) of the Constitution requiring two advocates elected by the members of the Law Society of Kenya to the Judicial Service Commission to have 15 years’ experience is in contravention of Article 27(4) of the Constitution as it negates the meaning of the term “election”. Hon. Members, the Petitioner therefore, prays that the National Assembly addresses her plight and considers effecting the necessary amendments to Article 171(2) (f) of the Constitution. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 227, this Petition, therefore, stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The Committee is requested to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House and the Petitioner in accordance with Standing Order 227(2)."
