Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute and support this Bill that is premised on the High Court’s organisation and management.

Those who are legal practitioners will tell you that we have had court registries, registrars, judges of all divisions, namely civil division, criminal division, commercial division and the children’s court.
