Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when yours truly was moving the Bill, I made it abundantly clear that there are three Sections that try to put the constitutional responsibilities of the courts. As a matter of fact, the three Sections must be deleted. I want it to go on record, so that no one will sit here knowing that there was a lawyer who moved the Bill but was not alive to that fact.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I thank all the Senators for their good contributions. There is already concession from me on the question of the delimitation of the courts in so far as the three sections are concerned, and whether or not you can legislate to say that no one should go to court. That is impossible. We must delete those sections. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate

Secondly, I want to inform the House that establishment of tribunals is for the reasons of making delivery of justice simple, timely and expeditious. Most of the tribunals across the country are composed of persons who are non-lawyers although they are headed by lawyers. All of them are managed from the Judiciary and not the Executive because they were all moved there for purposes of expeditious dispensation of justice and proper management.

I also want to inform the House that the formation of a tribunal does not take away the constitutional duties of the courts but make it easier for them because after the tribunal has made decisions, one can then go to court. In most cases, tribunals help to dispense justice expeditiously because they are composed of experts that are otherwise not found in courts but would have been brought to court as expert witnesses.

I also want to inform the House that this is not a new Bill but just amendments to the existing Land Act. Members must read various sections which apply to leasehold, freehold, community land and traditional land held by communities like where I come from. They should now also read where I heard the Senator of Narok County talking about cases of squatters which is a response to the question of adverse possession.

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank all the Senators who made their contribution to this very important Bill. I listened to many presentations, including by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, who made a very eloquent presentation. I would like to remind the House that each of us should acquaint ourselves with the difference between tangible property, as we know it, and intellectual property. This is because when it comes to copyright, you do not need to register for it to be protected. For instance, the moment someone publishes a book, it is automatically protected by law. The register that ...
