    "content": "Currently, we are crying that there is a lot of backlog. We are crying for more judges and more hearing days and yet we have somebody sneaking in an amendment requiring the same magistrates and judges of the Court of Appeal to go on vacation for 90 days. That was uncalled for, and I want to say that I support this Bill because it ensures that the numbers of days on vacation are retained as they were. If necessary, we can reduce the number of days the Court of Appeal judges are going on vacation. There was an amendment on Section 311 of the Companies Act which was flatly rejected. Somebody was trying to sneak in the percentage in which somebody can take over, from 90 per cent to 50 per cent. This would have meant that the minority shareholder can be forced to ensure rise of shares in an event of a takeover. That was oppressing the rights of the minority shareholders and ensuring that the majority always oppress the minority. I want to say thank for that."
