    "content": "I support the sentiments by Hon. Gitonga. It is becoming a tradition in this House that we introduce legislation touching on other matters using other legislation. The reason the title of the Bill is important is for information so that we would know from the title what is likely to be in the Bill but we are now trying to use Bills that touch on other matters, like the Finance Bill that is supposed to deal with taxes and imposition of taxes and other levies then introduce issues that ordinarily should be in the Advocates Act or the Law Society of Kenya Act. We have standalone legislations. If someone wants to amend the Advocates Act, amendments should be brought to the House and we deal with them as standalone amendment Bill, and we engage our brains to it. But, the idea of sneaking legislations touching on other statues through other important statutes is not right."
