Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I will speak in a minute. The cornerstone of a strong economy, democracy and stability of a country lies in an efficient judicial system. I rise to support the High Court Organisation and Administration Bill, but with some amendment. If you look at Part II, Clause 3 on the Establishment of Divisions, there is a Criminal Division, Civil Division and the Judicial Review Division, but there is a critical division that is not mentioned here. I will move an amendment to have a Land Division created in this Bill, so that ...

The Bill is long overdue because Kenya enacted several pieces of legislation in support of common trade in the East African region. But this was done without considering the consequences that would befall the country when the excise duty is administered by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) under one bloc.

Market Protocol for Free Movement of Goods and Services (CMPFMGS) by President Kibaki in 2009. All these pieces of legislation in support of common trade in East African region have been hurting this country because they were no mechanisms on how to trade both internally and externally without a streamlined Excise Duty Act. In Kenya, we have been losing a lot of ethanol products to the Ugandan market because we did not have a streamlined way in which the distributors of ethanol to East African countries. But this was done under the guise of CMPFMGS, the East African Community Treaty ...
