    "content": "Members of the Committee that will be chaired by Sen. Cherargei who presented the Petition himself must not subject themselves to issues of financial audits because those are not academic. Financial audits should be done by the Auditor-General if he is too busy, then he should hire an audit firm to do it. Let them look at the academics at the KSL, why failure is recorded and why many of us, including myself, are routinely visited by students who look for fees to go and pay for supplementary examinations when they had already paid fees for original examinations. The Committee should also look at the possibility that with all the parallel programmes, sometimes we have substandard admissions to faculties. Sometimes, the substandard admissions also run through the entire system to a level where students may not undertake and overcome simple examinations. We do not want to see frustrated children because the lecturers are lazy, mischievous or malicious. This is not the way to go and this Petition should help. There is continuing desire to standardise professional training. I have heard people talk of setting up similar institutions all over the country. We do not have too many lawyers graduating from universities. We can maintain a standard training by having an expanded school of law with a proper curriculum and proper teachers. If we do that, we will produce better lawyers instead of spreading ourselves too thin and having conflicting qualifications coming from different centres of institutions.
