[Imza]

Aye - I have already stated my reasons for this bill.

 

[Smami]

Aye, i agree with the stated reasons. This will significantly lighten the load by spreading it across more judges and make the judiciary more streamlined as a whole

 

[Franciscus]

I’ve proposed an amendment (S-04/34) to this bill to reduce judges six to five. I agree in principle that we should expand the court, but six is a bit much. As such, I’ll abstain—I don’t aim to block the bill from passing, but I would like the amendment to be considered before giving an affirmative vote.
