"content": "Order, hon. Members, can you follow this? Hon. Members, there were allegations made by a committee constituted by the Chief Justice. As a result of that, several judges were suspended in accordance with the Constitution. However, only one case has been concluded by a tribunal created by His Excellency the President 474 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 18, 2006 in accordance with the Constitution. That is the case of Justice Waki. To the best of my recollection, no judge to date, has been found guilty by the tribunal set up by the President. The judges who left the Judiciary, according to my recollection, did so on their own volition, not because they were found guilty. Even if that be the case, to contemplate what the two hon. Members want to urge, would be to invite total chaos and mayhem. How many cases have those judges decided on in their long careers on the Bench? The fact that a judge has been found guilty of impropriety in one particular case, and you consider all other judgements that, that judge has made in his or her lifetime career to be wrong, that is chaos. It would not work. It simply cannot work in a civilised society. So, let us keep it that way. That is the fact, not a single judge so far has been found guilty of corruption by a constitutional tribunal created by His Excellency the President. Proceed, Mr. Minister!"
