    "content": "we used to laugh at one of our African countries that would offer degrees that are very questionable. Kenya has distinguished itself in terms of quality education. Again, on the Civil Procedures Act, I am very happy for providing for the Rules and Procedures Committee. I was not happy with Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) in the recent past but, because it is the only women’s organisation that also represents women lawyers, it would be good if we included it; not just the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). If that is not possible it should provide that the two of the three people that are going to be nominated by the LSK be women. That is because all the other people that are going to be nominated by the other agencies are, almost always, men. It would be good if two of them are women. In terms of the Law of Contract, I have a big issue about the capping. I will be seeking issues with the LSK just to be clear. I had a lot of issues including provisions on a law that removes the death penalty from the Kenya Defence Forces Act. It seeks to provide alternatives to the death penalty. We are not doing justice when we bring these many pieces. It is high time we came up with a law that regulates how we push miscellaneous amendments, otherwise I am feeling cheated. I have only spoken to three and my time is up yet I have prepared comments on more than 20 pieces of legislation. I support but with amendments. I will be bringing some of my proposed amendments at the Committee of the whole House stage. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
