    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We know very well the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary was the accounting officer. She was the one who was supposed to authorise any payment. However, there were also structural problems at the Judiciary and at times the Chief Justice would give orders and instructions. There was a problem in managing finances in the Judiciary and since there was a lot of money, the Chief Justice created a committee for finance which also gave instructions. I remember that Committee was headed by lawyer Ahmednassir and he was giving instructions. The instructions would be given by a committee, vouchers could be processed and payments made. Therefore, in the wisdom of the Committee, if instructions came from the Chief Justice who was not an accounting officer, then he should be held responsible. This is because by virtue of being the Chairman of the Judiciary, he gave some instructions that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) obeyed. On bullet five under the second recommendation, I think he should be held responsible if he gave instructions. If he did not give instructions and there is no voucher he signed, then he is free. He will not be held responsible. So, let it be open the way it is. If it is found that there is a voucher he instructed to be prepared, he signed and it went through and yet he was not the accounting officer, he should be held responsible."
