In building a peaceful and developed society, it is;of vital importance to

In the same vein, the emergence of a peaceful and equitable social life calls

State, the State Peace and Development Council is making all-out efforts for 
the rule of law and order and stability, peace and tranquillity and 
prosperity of the State at the same time.With regard to prevalence of law and 
order in the nation, it is imperative for the courts which are the most 
important machinery of the State enforcing law and order, to be able to 
explicitly and effectively implement the fundamental principles on 
administration of justice of the State.

It is necessary for judicial officers who are vested with judicial power of 
the State, to be well-versed in law, to properly carry out administration of 
justice and to have high moral character so that they can cohesively and 
effectively implement the basic principles on administration of justice.

All need to study laws, by-laws, rules and regulations and the code of 
procedure, manual laws, instructions given by the Supreme Court and rulings.

Similarly, for the emergence of correct and fair administration of justice, 
it is necessary to obey supervision of courts at different levels and to 
enhance efficiency of management of courts such as financial and 
administrative matters and cooperation with other judicial bodies.

Specially, judicial officers are to always nurture and train themselves to 
have high moral character, the most important guilty of a judicial officer, 
by means of criticizing oneself and studying hard by oneself. 

They also need to hand down effective and deterrent punishment to those who 
violate laws with the intention of destroying development, stability and 
peace and tranquillity of human society.The Supreme Court has been extended 
with a view to ensuring expeditious and correct administration of justice, 
and the set-up of courts at different levels reorganized so as to have 
sufficient staff in proportion to the volume of work, to enhance work 
efficiency and to provide effective supervision.

As a result of permitting a new set-up, the Government has to incur K 17.2 
million more; the purpose of permitting the new set-up of courts at different 
levels is to work for the interests of the people fully and to decide cases 
correctly and fairly; all judges need to understand it.

The major duty of the court is to safeguard the interests of the State and 
the people in accord with the law, and all need to make sure that they do not 
cause any burden on the people and anything which can make the people unhappy 
and dispirited.

In conclusion, the Secretary- l urged all to study hard with the aim of 
ensuring the harmonious cooperation of the judicial sector, the legal sector 
and administrative sector for the emergence of a peaceful, modern and 
developed nation, to study with the aim of ensuring the system of
