"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me start by appreciating the work done by the Chair and his Committee on this. The Report has revealed a severe dysfunction in the department. There is a severe weakness of management and lack of good records. I do not see how you can run an organisation if records are not kept. That is a fiasco. There is poor adherence to procurement procedures and this is done haphazardly. There is also poor human resource management. In summary, you cannot have an organisation if all that is not done. Having made the recommendations which are fairly broad, there is need to further look into the functioning of the whole judicial system in the country. Hon. Speaker, the Report further indicates how nearly all the senior officers from the CJ, the Chief Registrar, the Director of Procurement to the Director of Finance showed severe dereliction of duty. I do not know whether it was deliberate. If the procurement and finance departments are not properly run, there will be severe loss of money. There is wastage; that has come out from this Report. We seem to appreciate having the committee in place, although I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
