• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of this Bill more so because our court procedures are very technical, particularly when one looks at the civil procedure. Most cases in court are lost on account of procedure. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: If one looks at Clause 14, he or she will find that the Bill exempts any appeal from the provisions of Civil Procedure Act. The Bill makes the cases before the tribunal simple, as one of the hon. Members has noted; it does so in respect of procedure, cost and time. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In this regard, this Tribunal looks at the issues of tax regime the same way the tribunals on rent restriction, public procurement and business premises do. It makes the appeal on matters of the tribunal fairly specialized and professional in terms of procedure, so that facts before it are given due attention.

• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sorry, I had gone to make useful consultations with hon. Jamleck Kamau due to his long experience as a Cabinet Minister in the former regime of hon. Mwai Kibaki. I rise to support this Bill. From the outset, I want to relate to the sentiments of my good friend, hon. Langat, that, indeed, if we are talking about independence, it must be seen to be independent; it must be independent and not just in writing.

• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The object of this Bill is to have an authority that is free of any political, Government or even commercial interests control. Therefore, if you load the board with many Principal Secretaries, we may lose that independence.
