  "The Senate Committee on Constitution Review, has considered a series of judicial reform proposals under the ongoing 1999 Constitution Alteration process. These reforms are aimed at improving access to justice, strengthening judicial administration, and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the courts. Key proposals include bills to regulate the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal, redefine the role of the Supreme Court as a court of policy, and improve judicial administration and efficiency. Other reform initiatives address the composition and functions of the National Judicial Council, expansion of court jurisdiction, and reforms relating to the handling of criminal matters. Collectively, these legislative proposals are designed to reduce delays in the justice system, improve case management, and strengthen institutional accountability within the judiciary. Overall, the judicial reform agenda reflects the Senate’s commitment to building a more responsive, efficient, and credible justice system in line with constitutional governance principles.
