    "content": "I have read this Bill on the vetting of judges and magistrates. Let me touch on Section 14, which many people have spoken about. When I look at it, I am left wondering if the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs is following the new Constitution. Why do I say that? Where we are as a nation, especially the judiciary, is because of the way the appointing authority was appointing judges. The appointing authority was the President through the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Now the Minister has brought back this section. I am not sure whether as a nation we are prepared for change. When the Government brings Bills here, there could be errors, but this is deliberate. So, what is the meaning? What is the Government doing? It is very clear that it is not ready for reforms. We are all here for a transitional period. We may not be here in 2012 because we may have gone home, but some will come back."
