    "content": "With regard to the pecuniary jurisdiction we have set above, I am happy that Hon. Ochieng has come in because he had some contestations on questions of language. He was wondering whether we could have tightened it a little bit more by giving this jurisdiction to the Magistrates’ Courts in matters that relate to the environment and land, matters that relate to human rights and matters that relate to the Employment and Labour Relations Act. However, for the purposes of our record, because the HANSARD is used in the interpretation of the Act, what we are saying as a Committee and as a House is that the Magistrates’ Courts have jurisdiction on matters of environment and land, human rights, employment and labour relations as far as their pecuniary jurisdiction is concerned. We can get into matters of interpretation later on or in the course of implementation. Now that Hon. Ochieng is here, he can make his point better on the language that he would have preferred as far as that clause is concerned."
