    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. As the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, Hon. (Dr) Mutunga, has alluded to, we have had discussions because the Committee has a proposal. I also had a proposed amendment which, in spirit, is similar to what the Committee wants to achieve. However, our amendment is broader in the sense that it also provides how the tribunal would work. Basically, those are provisions to provide for an establishment of a tribunal that would sort out disputes that would arise within the sector. You realise that you require an efficient system of dispute resolution so that you do not have to take too long sorting out disputes in court. Therefore, we are in agreement with the establishment of a tribunal. However, the Committee had not provided for how the tribunal shall operate. These are rules of procedure in terms of meetings and procedure when you bring a dispute before the tribunal. How are you going to register it? How are the parties going to be served? How are parties going to do pre-trials and within what period of time is the dispute going to be resolved? We added that. I have had discussions with the Chairman of the Committee and he has been magnanimous enough to accept that our proposed amendment is richer that what had been proposed by the Committee."
