"content": "I agree with the Mover that within the Court of Appeal, the establishment of divisions will also help to create more opportunities for people who want to seek justice in them. I wish to say that the Bill allows the election of the president of the Court of Appeal. We all agree that the Judiciary has to be autonomous not only in its functions, but we must also allow the levels of the courts to have their autonomy. We need to allow the High Court and the Court of Appeal to have autonomy just like we have allowed the Supreme Court to have its autonomy. When the judges want to elect their president like in the Court of Appeal, they should have the mandate so that it avoids external interference. The introduction of allowing the judges of the Court of Appeal to elect their own president is a good idea. It will give the court serious autonomy. There will be no manipulation."
