    "content": "The Leader of the Majority Party has also given me the letter, which he asked me to return to sender. He told me the sender is the President of the Law Society of Kenya, but I believe he had not read it. This letter is from the secretary and the CEO of the Law Society of Kenya. The Law Society of Kenya is inviting certain persons interested in the Supreme Court Advisory Opinion No.3 of 2019. The letter is saying that it has already convened two meetings, invited people of interest to attend, so that it can mediate or arbitrate or whichever way, negotiate and reconcile the parties regarding the difference the National Assembly has with the Senate. No mediators and arbitrators have been appointed because what the Leader of the Majority Party read were people who attended the meetings. I think the Leader of the Majority Party is not happy with the fact that the Law Society of Kenya is involved in the advisory opinion in the Supreme Court. I was in the Supreme Court this morning and the Law Society of Kenya was clear that they are in these proceedings as amicus curiae . The work is to be on both sides, to listen and advise in a neutral manner and to advise the governors. They are the ones who have sought their opinion. They also need to advise the Senate, which is on their side, and the National Assembly, which is named as the respondent. As far as I am concerned, the Law Society of Kenya has not invoked Article 112 or Article 113."
