    "content": "Hon. Members, I have a Petition, which, according to Standing Order No. 225 (2) (b), the Speaker is required to report to the House any Petition other than those presented through a Member. I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my Office has received a Petition signed by one Derrick Otieno Okandia, an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, seeking enactment of the Admiralty Court Law. The Petitioner submits that the Admiralty Court as currently constituted under the Judicature Act overly relies on the admiralty laws and practises of the United Kingdom. He notes that this matter has occasionally elicited pronouncement from courts in their judgements over the years, which may not necessarily match the Kenyan context. Hon. Members, the Petitioner therefore prays that the National Assembly considers repealing sections of the statutes that confer jurisdiction on the Admiralty Court The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
