Public Tribunal Bill Divides Opinion Over Justice and Judicial Independence | Matters Arising

The proposed Public Tribunal Bill has sparked intense debate over whether it will improve access to justice or undermine judicial independence. Supporters argue the tribunals will operate under judicial supervision and help strengthen justice delivery, while critics question the bill's constitutionality, cost, transparency, and necessity. The discussion also explores whether existing courts should instead be strengthened, concerns over political influence, and calls for broader public consultation, stronger safeguards and even a pilot phase before nationwide implementation. #mattersarising
