The original Section 71 is already prescriptive; it pre-empts the regulations, which is not ideal in legal drafting. Therefore, the amendment to shorten it so that the stakeholders,...

Hon. Mwengi Mutuse (Kibwezi West, MCCP) I stand in support. This is very important. You know, sometimes the judges’ benefits can be delayed if the law is not operationalised. This amendment provides a self-mechanism for the Act being effected. This is extremely important as the judges are certain that it...
