• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill because I realize that as we grew up, we were being told that our future was tomorrow. With the Uwezo Fund, the youth are going to have their future in their hands because we are going to empower them. They will access the funds. We know that a young person does not have any collateral to get a bank loan. But with this money, the Jubilee Government found it fit - in their dream as they campaigned - to give it out to the women and youth of Kenya so that ... view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, most importantly, this is a community driven process and, therefore, the money will trickle down to the grassroots. I congratulate His Excellency the President for finding it fit to set aside this money for our people. We are there to ensure that the process works and I can assure you that this is a process which should revolve so that we move forward and ensure that we empower our people. view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, for this honour. I rise to second this Bill. Before I second it, let me congratulate the leaders of the Law Society of Kenya who held their elections on 6th February, 2014, where I also voted. I give them my blessings, as they proceed to serve the Society and the people of Kenya in the right manner they deserve. view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: In seconding this Bill, I found out that it clearly sets out the issues that affect lawyers since time immemorial. It is worth noting that the LSK has been operating with an Act that was passed way back in 1948. Time has come when we need to pass a homegrown Act that is going to govern the standards of practice for the lawyers in Kenya. view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I acknowledge the fact that we have over 10,000 lawyers in Kenya who are duly admitted by the LSK and the High Court of Kenya. Under Section 2 of this Act, it generally deals with the interpretation of various terms that have been used in this Bill. Of importance in this Bill, which I must point out to this House, is the functions and objects of the Society, as set out under Section 4 of this Bill. You will find that among other functions of the Society, it has the capacity to guide members of the public in matters concerning ... view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: When I served in the LSK as its Vice-Chair, we formed a Public Interest Litigation Committee. The powers of this committee were derived from Section 4 of the then Act. It is important for the LSK as a body to have the legal capacity to govern and guide the public so that they can bring on board issues of public interest and also participate. We have seen instances whereby the LSK has come in as a body and joined proceedings or suits that have been filed by institutions as amicus curiae ; as a friend of the court. view

• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Let me take this honour to welcome Mhe . Mary Wambui to this house and tell her to take heart, we will stand with her. view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the LSK has been able to join these proceedings as a friend of the court and participate in guiding the court in the matters that are of public interest and nature. Another function of the LSK is to provide continuous legal education, under Section 4, to its members. What this means is that lawyers can continuously be able to access legal training and be up to speed with various laws which are passed, either within the Republic of Kenya or internationally, so that they can always give the best to the people of Kenya. view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Unlike other institutions, you will find that the LSK is ready and willing to undergo self regulation and that is set out under Section 4(k) and (l). The LSK has a way in which it disciplines its Members. This is by setting up a disciplinary process and mechanism where any dispute filed against a lawyer can easily be addressed and a resolution made. Under Section 6 of the guiding principles, the LSK is compliant in as The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
