    "content": "I have also learnt that there is lack of usage of Information Technology (IT) by the judicial staff. This is one of the bottlenecks that this Bill has not addressed adequately. People and organisations have embraced IT. Apart from the Judiciary and the Ministry of Lands, most of the other Government Departments have embraced IT. The first place to have embraced IT should have been the Judiciary, so that they can deliver justice. Lastly, disregard for court rulings by State agencies breeds lawlessness. The recent example is the ruling by the High Court about the teachers’ pay which was disregarded and brought a lot of suffering to the teachers. These are the kind of amendments that I will move at the Committee stage. Court rulings have to be respected by all and sundry. Nobody is above the law. This will ensure that there is no lawlessness. We should tell people to obey court rulings when everybody knows that court rulings have to be obeyed. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
