Lastly, I want to speak about the question of county development boards. I wish to congratulate Hon. (Ms.) Nyasuna for what she has said on the question of county development boards: That our good governors should have no fear.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to strongly support this amendment by hon. Linturi. It is important for us to note that this amendment is being restricted to people with Executive authority and Executive powers within an organization, even those serving in Government positions.

It is basically to recognize that the Legal Education Council has laid a lot of emphasis on those colleges and universities that offer degree courses. You will agree with me that there are very many other tertiary and middle level colleges that are offering legal courses. The Council has not focused on those and all that this amendment seeks to do is to ensure that the Legal Council puts more focus on those tertiary colleges to ensure that the lawyers that we have in this country are people who are very well trained. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on ...
