    "content": "That is why I think we should not only drop the DPP but also the Judicial Service Commission. If you look at the Constitution in terms of the JSC’s mandate you will question what it would be doing in the Law Reform Commission. Even if it is the one representing the Judiciary, as the Leader of the Majority Party purports the Law Reform Commission proposes amendments of laws which are effected by this Parliament. The Judiciary generally interprets and implements those laws. The JSC deals with recruitment, discipline and transfer of judicial officers. What would it be doing there surely? I want to request the Leader of the Majority Party to humbly consider leaving the amendment as it was proposed in the statute law, as we did in the Departmental Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs. We should not introduce bodies which will be adding numbers but not serving any meaningful constitutional or statutory functions."
