    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to put my voice on this Bill. Contempt of court has been an animal that has scared almost everybody because it seems like the judges and the magistrates have arbitrarily instituted it or used it to silence and intimidate people. This Bill is very timely. For us who are not in the law profession, we did not know where the boundaries were. You would not even feel free in the corridors of courts. Whatever you did, you got scared. This Bill now defines criminal and civil contempt. This proposed law is basically to uphold the dignity and the authority of the court. It ensures compliance with the directions of the court and observance and respect of due process of 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."
