    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I remember the when I was contributing on the debate on the nomination of the Chief Justice, I was cut short by an intervention. Indeed, she was vetted by the JSC and was further interviewed and vetted by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and found to have the requisite qualifications. The Committee was acting on behalf of this House. They said she exhibited impressive knowledge on topical issues, including demonstrating understanding of administration and management principles. So, what else do we need from a leader with such qualities? We need somebody with a vision, a person who is able to drive processes. The combination of Lady Justice and the Chief Justice is of high integrity and leadership qualities. There is no doubt that reforms are required in the Judiciary. I am confident that their strong religious backgrounds will stem out the many malpractices that are common in the dark corridors of justice. I am talking about bribery and delayed cases. I believe they will bring reforms and offer justice to all. Hon. Speaker, I call upon all the Members to support Hon. Lady Justice Philomena for this appointment."
