    "content": "On the issue of pecuniary jurisdiction, I agree with those who have spoken that it needs to be reviewed and if possible improved, because we know that the levels of inflation have changed over the years. At the same time, these figures were put up at a time when most magistrates were laypersons but today, the country has reached a level where most of the magistrates are professionals. They are trained and competent and, therefore, can be held responsible to make decisions that cover all matters of crimes. That does not mean we open the Pandora’s Box. There should be substantial enhancement of the pecuniary jurisdiction of the magistrates."
