    "content": "He is a living example of how Hon. Kaluma was clobbered and he was there. So, in case he wants to go to the police, he has a living witness, Baba included, as Baba was sitting there. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the deletion of the words “at the discretion of” and the insertion of the word “reasonable”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you are a lawyer. You know that when you go to court, there are many things that happen to the human being, even how you look at the judge or the magistrate, whether she is lady judge or a lady magistrate. On the basis of that, you might be offending. Therefore, I think it should not be at the discretion of the judge. She can sentence you to 20 years imprisonment just because of looking at her. I agree with the Chairman on his amendment of inserting the word “reasonable”. It must be in law and that is why we have the Contempt of Court Bill. Before this Bill is passed, if you are found drinking in a court room, you can be jailed for six years. That is the spirit and the objective of this piece of legislation before the House."
