    "content": "We are coming up with this pursuant to Article 169 but one of the key areas that Hon. Duale was referring to was the fact that there will be no technicalities. We would like to contribute in terms of lack of technicalities so that we come up with a court that will move away from the normal civil procedure and practise rules that become very technical and have been part and parcel of the delayed processing of our cases in courts. Of course, some claims have been lost because of these technicalities and, therefore, I am happy that we are putting some emphasis on the fact that this court is not being set up to borrow technicalities from our courts. Hon. Speaker, I have a challenge with section 20. Yes, we are removing the advocates from this court but we are introducing representatives of the claimant. I see mischief and danger in this particular provision where the court can allow duly authorised representatives. We must be very clear that here we are bringing brokers who will start practising as advocates and representatives of the claimant.
