• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as I support that amendment by the Minister, I would have been happy if he stated the retirement age of that particular judge. Those are Industrial Court judges. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am talking with view of knowledge that, even in the High Court of Kenya, there are judges who have gone beyond the age of 74 and are still judging very sensitive cases! Some of them have become senile! So, could the Minister tell us what the retirement age is, before I approve this one? view

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to applaud the Minister for agreeing to withdraw that proviso. However, I want the Minister to give us an assurance with regard to Clause 21(3) in the original Bill, which also deals with the same matter.

• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, you are a bit fast for me. I am concerned that this Clause 3 which is being amended--- view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I meant to say Clause 23. It is to be amended by deleting Subclause (1)--- I think I am mistaken. I apologise because I thought that they are going to do away with the rules of evidence which apply in the courts. In this case he is bringing them back. view
• 20 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are making many deletions, which could be very dangerous. We have just deleted one regarding reporting, which we had discussed earlier. Clause 26, which is being proposed to be deleted, says:- "Any decision, award, judgement or order of the National Labour Court may be served and executed as if it were a decision, judgement or order of the High Court".
