In Clause 17 we have provided that the County Solicitor must have at least five years of experience. This was the argument that we had during public participation because we have many young lawyers in this country and we realised people who have practiced long enough no longer find far flung areas attractive. That is why we said in this Bill, that we need to make sure CPSB provides a remuneration that is attractive to even senior practicing lawyers. This way, the quality of services can be improved. It is the same with the county legal counsel and the county ...

I do not know why Sen. Olekina is excited. Is it because the World Cup is about to begin or because the opening match is a few minutes away?

Madam Temporary Speaker, protect me from distraction of Members. They should keep their consultations at the lowest levels possible so that they do not distract my attention. I agree that under the objects of Article 174, we need to ensure that some of these functions are devolved properly. This Bill will ensure that it facilitates devolution to the lowest level possible as envisaged under 174 of the Constitution. In the interest of ensuring that we dispense justice, it is important that Kenyans understand that it is not only about courts of law or the Judiciary; justice is an all round. ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I have tremendous respect for all women leaders in this country. I know that Sen. (Dr.) Zani has been one of the trailblazers in championing many issues of women in this country. Therefore, I was not making reference in bad faith; it is in the public domain.
