Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to also join my colleagues in saying that this is a serious milestone that we have achieved. In my view, moving the tribunal to the Judiciary is one of the landmark decisions that has been made. As you would appreciate, in a number of occasions, there have been a lot of procrastination and bureaucracies hanging around the tribunals and more particularly, this particular tribunal that deals with taxes. It is actually going to assist in the expeditious disposal of many of these tax matters that have been delayed in ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to proceed from where I left. The Landlord and Tenant Bill is one of the serious milestones that we have achieved by way of this Bill. It seeks to introduce a legal framework which balances the interest of the landlord vis a vis that of the tenant. I am sure you are aware that there has been a lot of confusion in this area. More particularly, the landlords have been very draconian in how they exercise their rights vis a vis the tenants. At the same time, the tenants have also been ...

be easier to determine those issues because they are well documented and recorded. This is unlike in the past where the landlord was not obligated to do that. This is a clear improvement from what used to happen, particularly on the issue of distress for rent and how the auctioneers used to behave. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, auctioneers were hooligans. They would come up with all sorts of ways and maneuvers to evict tenants. With this Bill coming into effect, that will be history. The housing sector needs that we rein on it and improve it so that it is ...

would be told the tribunal has no powers to reinstate them. This Bill now gives the tribunal the powers to reinstate a tenant where the evictions have been unfair. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are generally good issues that have come up in this Bill; The tribunal will also have the right to determine what is fair rent and deal with the increase and decrease of rent. The issue of the notice of termination of tenancy has also been addressed in this Bill. There is also the issue of sub-letting or the issue of assigning some premises. You will realise ...

Hon. Speaker, I also stand to support this Petition on account that universities form the base upon which we develop serious leaders. If you look at many of the leaders that we have, they emanated from our various universities. They held various responsibilities. I recollect that one of my leaders when I was in the University of Nairobi was Hon. ole Kenta. During that time, we were participating in electing leaders. Therefore, we should open up the democratic space in our universities. As one of the speakers has said, it is imprudent and unreasonable that you can pin down elections ...
