Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28155, member: 2262"] Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab brought forward the judiciary amendment bill number 11 from 2015 during Wednesday's session. This bill focuses on changing who manages building projects for courts across the country. Dausab pointed out that the Constitution clearly aims to protect each branch of government as separate and independent from others. The current system requires the Justice Ministry to handle construction projects for court buildings. Dausab explained that this arrangement has created many problems over the years. The new bill would transfer these building responsibilities directly to the chief justice instead. She believes the judiciary should control the construction of its court facilities since it operates as a separate branch of government. People have noticed a serious lack of magistrate courts throughout the nation recently. Many think this shortage happened partly because the judiciary cannot decide where and when to build new courts. The timing of this proposed change comes when the court system desperately needs more facilities. Giving courts control over their building projects might help solve these space problems faster. The amendment represents a significant shift in how court facilities will be planned and built. Court officials would gain direct authority over designing and constructing their workspaces. This change could lead to better-designed courts that meet the specific needs of judges and the public. The transfer of power addresses long-standing concerns about efficiency in creating essential court infrastructure. [/QUOTE]
