    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Clause 8(2) says that a magistrate can only intervene on matters under Article 25 on issues of torture. Sub-clause 3 talks of matters to deal with fair administrative action, access to justice and fair hearing. We are being told that a magistrate cannot deal with all these. When you take this jurisdiction, then you are doing nothing giving this provision because it does not actualise in a very deep way the provisions of Article 23. I wanted to ask Members of the Committee, together with people of good sense of justice before our court system, that we see how we recraft Clause 8 to bring real meaning to sub-clause 3. Hon. Speaker, to conclude, because you have been gracious to me, you have asked the question whether there will be money ramifications. Obviously, there will be money ramifications. We are proposing the employment of more people. We are enhancing the jurisdiction of those state officers to serve as magistrates. We want them to be all over the country with diverse jurisdictions. Obviously, there is a way in which if you looked at it keenly, there will be something in the nature of a money bill requirement within the provisions."
