Roark No matter how Brant Winifred and Mel completed their tasks, the Department of Justice was also plagued by scandals during this period, and Roark, as the deputy minister who is mainly responsible for the work, has no shirk.
The scandal in the Ministry of Education some time ago has led to the resignation of two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Education. Faced with overwhelming accusations, Yang Smozi still shamelessly refused to resign. However, under the premise that a large number of Boer officials were dismissed, he could only
Can make more use of British and Chinese employees.
Therefore, this year's graduates from the University of Nyasaland were assigned to work in the Ministry of Education. Sidney Milner worked hard to bring back more than 80 graduates from Nyasaland, and the result was nearly four points.
One went to the Ministry of Education.
Most of these eighty people are of Chinese origin, with only nine British graduates. Nyasaland University has begun to train talents in batches, which also means that the government of Southern Africa has entered a new stage.
In the previous colonial administration of Southern Africa, the government basically had little leeway in selecting employees. This situation in Southern Africa determined that the first-rate talents would definitely return to work in the UK, and then all the second-rate talents would be taken over by the Southern Africans.
Enterprise recruitment left few talents for the colonial government, which led to frequent problems after the establishment of the federal government.
Adelaide attaches great importance to the group of government employees. After the establishment of the federal government, Adelaide began to implement the civil service system in Southern Africa. Although Southern Africa will still elect a prime minister in the future, the prime minister only has the right to form a cabinet, and ordinary employees will not be affected.
, that’s why Roque said that in some departments of the federal government, even tying a dog in the minister’s office would not cause much trouble.
As a result, the requirements for government employees are relatively high. During the colonial government period in southern Africa, people who could read and write might be able to work in the colonial government. In the future federal government, if you do not have formal university study experience, you will probably have to work in the federal government.
A little difficult.
The same goes for the Department of Justice.
In name, the federal government's justices and independent prosecutors all graduate from prestigious schools and have rich experience. Their overall quality can be said to be the highest within the federal government.
In fact, the quality of justices and independent prosecutors is also uneven. There are only a few justices and independent prosecutors who are truly trusted by Rock. One of them is Elliott Field, the former chief judge of the Transvaal and the current federal government.
Duke Cowper, one of the six justices, was barely another.
The reason why he was reluctant was because of the good relationship between Rock and Duke Cowper in the past. In terms of real business ability, Duke Cowper was not very good, but it was already pretty good in southern Africa.
Like Roque, Duke Cowper is now also the Deputy Minister of Justice. Roque is mainly responsible for execution in the Department of Justice, while Duke Cowper is mainly responsible for trials and the management of courts and judges.
If Roark wants to strengthen the management of the Ministry of Justice, he must discuss it with Duke Cowper.
"I am planning to set up a special investigation section within the Ministry of Justice to supervise and inspect federal government employees. There have been a lot of problems during this period, and the Prime Minister is very dissatisfied. We must do something, otherwise we will inevitably be attacked by public opinion.
"Rock said it as easily as possible so as not to offend Duke Cowper.
Supervising federal government employees, including those of the Department of Justice, would give the Special Investigations Division a bit more power. Duke Cowper would inevitably have doubts. After all, no one wants to have double eye surgery.
The sky is staring at itself.
"Lord, the functional departments of the federal government serve the federal government. You must grasp this degree." Duke Cowper reminded vaguely. This is also a man's skill. Even if Roark's words were vague, he would immediately understand Roark's intention.
.
To put it bluntly, officials protect each other. The main purpose of the Ministry of Justice is to crack down on criminal groups, and this group certainly includes government employees.
However, in Duke Cowper's understanding, when it comes to government employees, it is better not to go too far. It is enough to give an explanation to the outside world. It is impossible to eliminate illegal crimes. Ministry of Justice staff often
The case-handling procedures are also illegal. If we really set up such a department, let alone other things, I'm afraid there will be controversy within the Ministry of Justice.
"I understand -" Roque did not explain too much. Although they are both deputy ministers, their powers are not the same. In the Ministry of Justice, Roque, the deputy minister, obviously has greater power than Duke Cowper, the deputy minister.
On this issue, Rock actually does not need Duke Cowper's consent, he is just following the procedures now.
"Should the Judicial Committee formulate a normal working system?" Duke Cowper also had his own requirements.
In accordance with the system requirements of the federal government, the Ministry of Justice should establish a Judicial Committee to guide and supervise the work of the Ministry of Justice.
In fact, the Ministry of Justice now has a Judicial Council. The six justices of the federal government, four independent prosecutors, plus the two ministers Henry and Roque, together form the Judicial Council of Southern Africa.
It is a pity that the current situation in southern Africa has determined that the Judicial Committee almost exists in name only. From its establishment to the present, it has not even held a few meetings, and many members have not even met in person.
There is nothing we can do about it. The six justices of the federal government work in Pretoria, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Durban, and Port Edward. Everyone from all over the world is very busy with work.
It is indeed impossible to stay in Cape Town all day.
Not to mention the four independent prosecutors. Because of the nature of their work, the Ministry of Justice has very little restraint on independent prosecutors. The independent prosecutors do not even need to report to the Ministry of Justice at all times, and they are even less likely to do so.
Stay in Cape Town every day.
There are also two ministers, Henry and Roque. Henry, as Minister of Justice, has to stay in Pretoria for a long time, while Roque wears many hats. His stay in Nyasaland is longer than that in Pretoria.
He spent more time in Toria. After Cape Town became the judicial capital of the federal government, Roque has never been to Cape Town once. He really has no time to spare.
However, Roque also has a solution. Although it is impossible for the committee members to stay in Cape Town all the time, it is still necessary to set up an office in Cape Town. It is enough to send a person in charge to take charge of the work. The committee members do not need to stay all the time.
in Cape Town.
"That's okay. Recently, some people in Cape Town have proposed abolishing all courts in southern Africa except Cape Town, and concentrating criminals in Cape Town for trial, in order to strengthen Cape Town's status as the judicial capital.
I said these people are just out of their minds. If that is the case, the size of the Ministry of Justice will be doubled now, and the manpower will not be enough." Duke Cowper is already in his sixties this year and will soon reach retirement age.
So the desire for power is not that great.
Although there is no such thing as retirement in Southern Africa, birth, old age, illness and death are always unavoidable. People like Dr. Starr Jameson who cry out every day that they are going to die from illness, but there are still very few people who do not die. The Chief Justice of Southern Africa
Both the independent prosecutor and the independent prosecutor have a lifelong tenure. This position can be held as long as the person is alive. However, once you hold this position, it is almost impossible to take it further.
The main reason is that Henry and Roque are both too young. If there are no accidents, these two people can stay in the ministerial position for decades, and others basically have no chance.
"This incident has sounded the alarm for us. If those criminals were tried in Pretoria, there would be no such accidents, so it is impossible to abolish all courts outside Cape Town, and next
We strengthen the construction of courts in various places and strive to prevent similar incidents from happening again." Although Cape Town was Rock's first stop in this time and space, Rock did not have much special feelings for Cape Town, and Cape Town became the southern part of the country.
The judicial capital of Africa also takes care of Cape Town's status in southern Africa. Even so, Cape Town will inevitably be marginalized in southern Africa.
Cape Town's decline cannot be helped. Before the opening of the Suez Canal, Cape Town, as the southernmost supply port on the African continent, played a very important role in east-west shipping. At that time, almost all ships had to pass through Cape Town for supply, so
The British would not hesitate to launch a war to snatch Cape Town from the Boers.
After the opening of the Suez Canal, Cape Town's status is gradually declining. More and more ships choose to pass through the Suez Canal instead of bypassing the entire African continent. It is estimated that when the world war breaks out, due to the German blockade of the Suez Canal, Cape Town
There will be a period of return to glory, and then Cape Town's status will continue to decline.
That's why Rock will not waste time in Cape Town. Now Transvaal and Nyasaland are the focus of Rock's attention.
After communicating with Duke Cowper, the Department of Justice added a department called the Special Investigations Section. Although this is only a section-level department and not a high-level department, it has very powerful powers. It can not only conduct investigations on federal government employees.
Oversight, and is also responsible for the Department of Justice’s internal intelligence work in Southern Africa.
To put it bluntly, Rock copied another Brad in the Department of Justice.
The candidate to be the head of the Special Investigation Section is Louis, the former umbrella man Lu Si.
Lu Si is one of the founders of Umbrella, and he is also experienced in intelligence work. At least compared to the current staff of the Ministry of Justice, he can be regarded as experienced.
"The main task of the Special Investigation Section is to supervise government workers, but you have no execution power. Even if a crime is discovered, it must be handed over to the Police Department. Of course, you also have the power to supervise the Police Department." Roque.
There are still restrictions on the powers of the Special Investigation Section. The police system in Southern Africa is also part of the Ministry of Justice. Roque cannot artificially create conflicts of rights.
