"content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this important Bill that has come to this National Assembly. I will particularly address myself to Clauses 6 and 8 of this Bill. Clause 6 is very clear about natural justice, that you do not condemn anybody unheard. Once many of our administrators get into authority in this country, they act with an iron fist. They do not act for Kenyans. They imagine that once you are an administrator, that is the end of the road and you are the best thing that ever happened to this country. I want to talk about administrators in matters of liquor licensing, County Commissioners in their capacity as administrators and Land Registrars when they go to the field to look into matters of boundary disputes. More often than not, these people act with impunity. They do not know that we have a new constitutional dispensation. Kenyans are the taxpayers and these administrators are maintained through these taxes. Their salaries are paid from the taxes from the Kenyan taxpayers. They deal with Kenyans like pieces of riff raff. Clause 8 of this Bill particularly talks about these people. Once they act in a high handed manner, you have a right to go to a tribunal or the High Court for a review of their decisions. As a consumer of their dispensation of justice, you can go to court to have their actions or decisions that have not gone down well with you set aside or reviewed.
