    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will be very brief. I do not know the nominee personally, but the description given by the mover creates an impression of a qualified person. I have only two points. The first one is that when police officers were prosecutors, you would go to court and find they were the first to arrive. Today, if you go to court, you will find the magistrate waiting for the prosecutor to arrive. This is because most of these people consider themselves very qualified, and the magistrate has to wait for them. I am saying this as a practising advocate. I hope Mr. Renson notes this and ensures that he instills punctuality in prosecutors so that advocates and litigants do not have to wait for them in court. The second point is that Mr. Renson should realise that as a prosecutor, it is his responsibility to collect evidence and table it before court. Sometimes it is unfair when I hear people blaming the court by saying they have released a criminal. A prosecutor must provide the folder for convicting a person. If the prosecutor decides to withhold evidence, that person will go home. This is because our criminal justice system depends on nothing other than evidence. So, he has his job well cut. With those remarks, I support."
