    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that this is a welcome move. I want to urge the Minister to give the subordinate courts some jurisdiction so that we can say: \"A subordinate labour court presided over by a magistrate of this class or cadre shall deal with these kind of disputes.\" That way, we will stratify the kind of disputes and actually minimise the number of disputes as we go to what is called the National Labour Court (NSC). I believe in the hierarchy proposed here, this should be the highest court. It is equivalent to the Industrial Court. Indeed, it is not just the subordinate courts, I have seen some other description of another one. If the subordinate courts are given stratified jurisdictions, it will be possible to eliminate the numerous minor disputes that, sometimes, inundate the Industrial Court or what is proposed to be the NSC. That way, we will be able to redress some of the grievances at the very local levels. There will be need for the Minister to consult with the Office of the Attorney-General and, perhaps, the Chief Justice for purposes of stratifying jurisdictions at various levels."
