    "content": "legislation on the Judiciary Fund Bill with its own modalities and mechanisms and not to rely on the Judicial Service Act as had earlier been envisaged. Again, there was need to cushion the Judiciary on returning of funds at the end of a financial year. That is one of the functions this Bill will serve when it is assented to. Accountability is critical. It has remained very sad to watch corruption in the Judiciary. As we pass this law and protect the funds of the Judiciary, it is going to be very important for the Judiciary to be fully accountable. Caesar’s wife must be above reproach. Those expected to jail other people for corruption must be spotlessly clean. All those things that we continue to see in the Judiciary must end with this law. We will be asking for increased and enhanced oversight on the Judiciary Fund Bill to avoid any issues of accountability. There was institutionalization and the political parties debate earlier. Everybody who is receiving funding from taxpayers must continue to use those taxes and those funds appropriately. This is a poor country. Any fund must be put into good use. We thank the House. I beg to reply."
