    "content": "On the issue of Kenya School of Law Act, I am not an advocate but I sincerely believe we need to maintain standards. We have had problems about the quality of students that we churn from the university, we have challenges in this country about the quality of technical and professional advice being rendered by the so called professionals in this country. I support a stringent approach to generally ensure that people who are given licences to operate as professionals have met the minimum threshold and deserve to work and perform that particular function. I am not worried of mass failure. You can only pass an exam if you are qualified and prepared to pass an exam. Just merely because those unprepared have failed is not the best approach to change the law so that you can have people pass en masse simply to please some people. Technically, in a typical organisation we must conform to the normal distribution curve where there must be failures, there must be people at the center and there must be high scorers. Obviously, we might have to relook at it vis-à-vis the entire Act and we need to be careful on how we move."
