    "content": "am glad that I am witnessing today the completion of the exercise of having a Supreme Court in this country. As you know, beginning yesterday, we are currently involved in interviewing the judges of the Supreme Court. Therefore, the enactment of this Bill could not have come at a better time. Therefore, I wish to congratulate the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for providing leadership in ensuring that this Bill is drafted by the Attorney-General and it comes to this House in good time for it to be enacted before the appointment of the judges of the Supreme Court. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk about reforms in the Judiciary, they are going to start at the top, namely, the Chief Justice, the Deputy Chief Justice and the judges of the Supreme Court, who will now give leadership in ensuring that we have good jurisprudence in this country. As you know, up to now, we have been having conflicting judgements or points of law and we hope that with the establishment of the Supreme Court, we are now going to have leadership in that area. With these few remarks, I support."
