Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not going with the rest. I will differ because we have cases where, for example, we get very inaccurate information spoken in public about you and me. It is put in public domain and I want to agree that, that can go without being questioned. I am not with you on that because it says false information. We are talking about inaccurate information. If we allow that, we are going to have all sorts of information about you, I and so and so, and you say it is okay because there is liberty and ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it has been overtaken by events but, if you look at the original Bill, it is not workable. Secondly, to me, the amendment is ambiguous, extravagant and very dangerous. This is because we are talking about every officer in these premises. That is very dangerous. We cannot allow ourselves to be humiliated by officers we have actually employed here. It is not possible. To me, this is very dangerous, extravagant and ambiguous. We cannot allow this. I, therefore, oppose.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank my friend, Hon. Silas Tiren, for coming up with this Bill. This country is an agricultural country and almost 99 per cent of farm land is not mechanized. Therefore you expect that most of the work in the farms and distribution of farm produce to market centers is done manually. Therefore, I want to congratulate him for coming up with this Bill; most of the work is done manually. The Internation Labour Organization (ILO) recommends that packages be lighter because of the risks that are involved. ...

You know he handles fish and I handle maize; so, he should actually listen to me explaining what we undergo. He does not even handle fish.

Gold; so I am informed. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was making a very important point about manual workers either in a factory or storage in cereals board. You see young men carrying loads as heavy as 80 kilogrammes. In fact, some of them carry it alone. When you see them you sympathize because after that you can imagine how much they are paid per day. It is not more than Kshs200. What does that tell you? You find some of them die at the age of 30 because they cannot afford medical examination and medicine. What they do next ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to take this opportunity to support this Bill. There are quite a number of things that I have noticed in the Bill. In so doing, I have noted that the transfer of judges has been an issue as far as the public is concerned. You find a case going on and from nowhere you are told that the judge has been transferred. It becomes difficult and the case starts dragging on and on. This Bill addresses that issue. It is something that is long overdue because it tells you that you must take ...

The other one is a bit disruptive because when a judge is transferred and a case is right in the middle or towards the end, it means that the new judge that comes in has to start it afresh. Therefore, this is a good thing to do. There is a bit of order now in the courts from what I am seeing. We have had cases where judges actually do their own businesses. I have gone in just to see what they are doing. I do not want to say where. You find some of the judges are negligent. He ...

The other thing is that as we do this, the ongoing case of the teachers--- When people do not respect the courts, especially when it is one arm the Government or whatever organ, tells you volumes. We have had to go through a lot of pain recently when the Government deliberately said they were not going to follow the courts. The courts had made a ruling and they refused to follow the courts. I want to take this opportunity to thank the teachers and the unions because after the courts said they go back to work, they complied and yet ...
