    "content": "actually felt that it was not good. While the Judiciary forms another arm of the Government, it has got to show a lot of efficiency. The only major challenge here is the appointing authority of the Ombudsman. If the Office of the Ombudsman is streamlined, it will go a long way to ensure there is transparency and accountability in the Judiciary. There has been a lot of backlog of cases. Some of them going as far back as 10 years. Sometimes we are talking about the shortage of judges, but some of the cases have been affected by corrupt practices that were going on there. That is with due respect to my learned colleagues who are here. The office of the Ombudsman should be streamlined so that the people in this country receive judicial service in a seamless and efficient manner. However, while that is a challenge there are many good things when we have an over sighting authority to every institution. Madam Temporary Speaker, besides of these few provisions that I have spoken to, I support this Bill. I look forward to this Bill passing because it shall improve the living standards of the people of this country. Thank you."
