    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to support this Bill. I want to support it because it will only take three months to get the results they need. Having said that, it is good to realise that proper vetting should be internally. The vetting will not make any sense if you vet them, but repeat the same things. When we realise that we have to vet judges, it is good to appreciate that things are not going well. There has been a lot of interference with the judges in this country and amongst themselves. There is nothing as important in a nation as the rule of law. We have to respect the rule of law as individuals. Let us all submit to the rule of law because that is the only time we will have a country that will be appreciated by everybody. The opposite of rule of law is anarchy. Anarchy will delay the growth of this country. We have seen countries that have gone astray because of lack of rule of law. We should not go the same way. If you disagree with somebody over a dispute, people used to say “let us meet in court”. This was a place you expected the rule of law and sound judgement. Soon, this saying is losing meaning. This is because you go before the judge and you do not expect to get good judgement. This saying will take this country in the wrong direction. The other issue I want us to embrace as a country and on those judges who are being vetted is to have correct value system. If you are a judge and you know you are corrupt or taken The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
