 The Senate says that the recent granting of autonomy to the state judiciary by the executive arm of government would aid rapid dispensation of justice in the states across the country. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, Senator Michael Bamidili, disclosed this during the screening and confirmation of the executive secretary designate of the National Human Rights Commission, Antonio Juku, for another term, and Justice Laval Stanley as president designate for FCT Customary Court of Appeal. Bamidili said that the signing of fiscal autonomy for state judiciary will help to decongest prisons. Based on the constitution and not an act of parliament or executive order, and to the extent that our constitution is the ground norm, we believe that speedy progress will be made in this regard. And then of course, let me also assure members of public that the other bills that were not as centered to by Mr. President, as far as we are concerned, is a development that only calls for further engagement and further interaction. This part, Justice Laval appealed to the Senate to ensure that all issues of the family and matrimonial cases be handled by the customary courts instead of the high courts. There is need for us as a nation to either reassign the portfolio and work laws of courts so that we can distribute it more evenly, so that some courts will not be working, working and making, working more than their limit. And as a result of that, the cases will be suffering. Why other courts will not have much to do? It will be in the interest of the country if we can reassign a mid-judgment and I intend to appeal to the National Assembly because it's only the National Assembly that can help us out. Immediately I came into office, I noticed that the morale of the staff was quite low and that the level of awareness about human rights issues was quite low and there was a lot of impunity amongst law enforcement agents. And our legal framework, one needed to be harmonized because we were operating on that two legislations, it needed to be harmonized into one to make it easier for users. And again, some of the things we needed to work like ability to someone with nurses, someone who had violated human rights to give an account, we needed the support of the National Assembly to do that.
