    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is not the first time the issue of age has been brought to Parliament. In fact, the issue was brought before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. It is important. I support my colleague, Hon. Kaluma, that we differentiate between an age limit and experience. In fact, it is not about the age limit since you can be admitted to the roll of advocates at 25 years or at 70 years. Both persons admitted at the same time at 25 or 70 years do not have the experience required to deal with the objectives and the mandate of the Law Society Kenya. I am certain that this Petition will be brought yet again to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, but I support the sentiments expressed by Hon. Kaluma. It is not an issue of age limit, but an issue of experience. Indeed, it is for this reason that certain offices have not only an age limit, but years of experience in a particular profession."
