    "content": "Thank you. He is my neighbour. The reason why this court is being created is so that we can cushion those people who might want to frustrate this court. I have also looked at the execution of the decrees of this court. We are quite aware that some have fallen victim to this. When a decree is made in these higher courts, a lot of things go under the table. Without your knowledge, judgment is made and you are auctioned. We have heard of cases of people saying they do not know how it happened until people came to auction their property. If a case is determined ex parte, if I may use the language of the learned friends, it can be reviewed. That is a very important provision. Corruption may permeate in those courts. I also want to support the view that this court be heard in local languages. It is very important. Sometimes you might use an interpreter or somebody who may not understand the national languages and a person might lose a case for not being able to present themselves in the best way. I see this Bill as an avenue where justice will be affordable and easily accessible to the common person. I support the Bill."
