Abstract: Through Bill No. 39 of 13 January 2023 entitled the Criminal Code (Amendment No. 2) Act, 2023, government is launching its New Year's parliamentary legislative schedule with a frontal attack on the independence of the judiciary.
The Objects and reasons of the Bill are 'to provide a legal basis for the involvement of the Occupational Health and Safety Authority in inquests arising out of industrial accidents or incidents happening at a place of work in respect of which the Occupational Health and Safety Authority is entitled to carry out a separate investigation under the Occupational Health and Safety Authority Act, thereby making the expertise of the said Authority available to the inquiring Magistrate and avoid unnecessary duplication of work and cost'.
