    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this good Bill. Having come from a place where people think going to court is going to be jailed; a place where when they hear of court, they think somebody is trying to trick them and that they will not find that justice when they get there, this Bill will help. Some even fear when they are told to go to court to look for justice. That is why the saying goes “justice delayed is justice denied”. As it is now, this Bill is going to make justice accessible in all areas of this nation. That means that the services of courts are going to be nearer to the people. The divisions in all areas will save those people who travel for long distances to look for justice. It is good to know the functions of courts, the functions of the president of the court and the functions of the registrar. Once they know their functions, work will be done easily. We have heard and seen that files are missing most of the time people go to court, and it is the day they have been requested to be there. They are then given another day and yet, they are not sure whether their files are going to be found when they go back there. With this Bill, proper record keeping under the Registrar is laid out very clearly. As other hon. colleagues have said, it is good to make sure that we go digital. That way, the records are all listed down so that they can be found easily once a case is coming up for hearing."
