    "content": "On Judiciary, Clause 43 proposes to amend Article 172(1), where the security of tenure for the judges is lost. What do we mean? We know the importance of the judges having security of tenure. This offers security to ensure the office holders cannot be victimized for exercising their powers, functions and duties. If this clause is removed we can be sure that the judges will be working in fear. They will be manipulated and victimized for making independent decisions. As a House, we have come from far. We are where we are because of the Judiciary. If Clause 172(2) as amended, was in place, maybe judges would have been unable to give the rulings that they have been giving. The appointment of the Ombudsman, by the Executive, who will be able to sack judges, will scare everyone to make any independent ruling. This takes away the independence of the Judiciary."
