    "content": "There are also amendments to the Kenya School of Law Act, 2012 and the Legal Education Act, 2012 (No. 27 of 2012). This is opening up the licensing of other education providers to train advocates. After you finish your university education in the training of a lawyer, you have to go to the Kenya School of Law. Everybody competes to go there. This amendment seeks to open up other institutions to offer the pre-entry exams into the legal profession and train the advocates so that they can graduate. We will have schools of law in Kisumu, Mombasa, Eldoret and other places. Therefore, it will reduce the congestion and cost of training of advocates in Nairobi. It has become very expensive and competitive to take children to the Kenya School of Law. There is also congestion in the classes. We have several institutions which offer law degrees, for example, Moi University, the University of Nairobi, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology and even other private universities. This is a good amendment. I can compare it only with the medicine courses which opened up the training in many institutions. You can go for internship in many institutions within the Republic of Kenya. Therefore, I do not think anybody should oppose this amendment. It is a very positive contribution.
