    "content": "This is one of the best reports I have read in this House. The Report is well written, well- structured and it captures many of the issues that we would want to hear as representatives of the people. I would like to comment on a few things: One is on budget reallocation as has been discussed by my colleagues. One of the challenges of the Judiciary is lack of adequate budget. I am happy that in the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) that we recently passed, we have increased the ceiling for the Judiciary. I hope when we get the Estimates from the National Treasury, they will not fundamentally go against the BPS that we passed here. Therefore, that is one step in which Parliament is trying to help the Judiciary perform its constitutional role. I want to comment on the issue of tribunals. According to the Constitution, tribunals are one of the functions of the Judiciary. But the Report notes there are quite a number of tribunals that are still managed by various line ministries. The ministries have not transferred them to the Judiciary and so far, only 40 tribunals have been transferred."
