    "content": "they went to the court, they found there was nobody in the court. The magistrate had not come and he was not in his chambers. The magistrate was given a warning. The next day, he was in his chambers by 8.00 a.m. One minute to 9.00 a.m., he was in the courtroom alone. He sat there for five minutes and there were no files and no prosecutor. The files came in at 9.10 a.m. The prosecutor was not there with the prosecution files. He just said call out the files. When the files were called, there was no prosecutor and no witness then the case was dismissed. He dismissed all the cases that particular morning. The next day, he repeated the same thing. The third day when the prosecution was now seeing the magistrate is there on time and they came on time, there was no witness and yet there were witness summons. He applied the law strictly for two weeks. He was just dismissing cases. The Chief Justice had to go back to him and told him not to apply the law strictly otherwise there will be no successful prosecution. Sometimes we complain about courts, but a lot of times, it is not the courts. That is a point I wanted to make. Of course, there are times when the courts also make their mistakes. Sometimes they do not do their work as expected by citizens. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a wonderful Bill. I thank Sen. Farhiya for her industry. This is who you are. All the time you make me feel very proud as your colleague in the Senate."
