    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could the Minister stop insisting on adopting my name? I rise to support this Bill that establishes the Environment and Land Court. Nothing can be more appropriate. If you look at Clause 3, you will find that the guiding principle of this Bill is to help us to deal with the backlog of the various land cases that are lying in our courts and also to help us to again find time to deal with the challenges that we are dealing with now because of the various offences that have been committed either by individuals or organizations on matters concerning land issues. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am quite impressed with Clause 13, which gives the jurisdiction of these courts. Article 13(2)(a), states “In exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 162(2)(b) of the Constitution, the Court shall have power to hear and determine disputes relating to environment and land, including disputes- (a) relating to environmental planning and protection, trade, climate---” et cetera ."
