The legal profession has once again scooped the top prize for
the most arrogant profession for the 78th year running,
beating even policemen and witches, According to
postamate reports[1]

In the annual awards for the most arrogant professionals,
lawyers and their kind took all the possible awards, beating the
politicians who came a distant second. To put things into
perspective, the legal professionals were found to be six times
more arrogant than policemen and 42 times more arrogant than the
matatu (transport) industry in Kenya.
While the results were expected, it is a situation that
continues to baffle many normal people who just love minding their
own business. “How can people be so arrogant when they neither
understand the Second Law of Thermodynamics nor understand the Germ
theory of diseases?” Wondered one small scale farmer who is not
into politics and institutionalized gossip. “Doesn’t it even bother
them that someone wearing a horse wig on the head should not speak
too loudly when our grandmothers with their hand knit caps are
around?”
Unmoved by Covid-19
Not even the fact that majority of them still use Windows
XP[2] could
help tame their arrogance.
Even with Covid-19 which led to closure of courts rendering many
lawyers irrelevant, many continued to maintain their arrogant tone
and looking down on other lesser professionals, in spite of the
fact that lawyers could barely put food in their mouth.
“They continued to speak fluent arrogance even when the law
societies were frantically trying to scramble for coins to help
them pay their rent. In Kenya, poor relatives in the village were
also sustaining them by sending them maize and beans, but the
lawyers in their impeccable suits continued to boast of their
mastery of the queen’s language on social media.”
Experts opine that this is a problem that is likely to last for
many years as it seems to be rooted in their DNA.
It is not limited to practising professionals only. Even law
students continue to regard themselves as better than all other
comrades, with reports that some of them consider themselves more
important to the learning institutions than Music Professors.
The same award awaits them next year.
