    "content": "Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and I have had the privilege of going through this Bill from the initial stages. I am happy that finally we are discussing this set of Bills including what was discussed in the morning. The most important thing to note is that the country is now realising that the function of the Judiciary is not merely that of a judge sitting, listening and delivering judgment. It is a process; a process that must be managed. We also realise that judges are also human beings who, like all of us, get tired and are prone to error. So, we said that it is important that we now provide a framework of organising, managing and administering the way the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the small Magistrates Courts work, and so that it is not about paper pushing. It should be about how to ensure that justice is delivered effectively, is done in a manner that promotes not only the interests of those who seek the services of the courts but also the welfare of those who ensure that those services are delivered and delivered on time."
