Roque doesn't care how Brant Winifred and Mel accomplish their tasks, and the Department of Justice has also been scandalous during this time, and Roque has a responsibility as the deputy secretary in charge of the main work.

Some time ago, the scandal of the Ministry of Education has led to the resignation of two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Education, and Yang Smozi has been faced with overwhelming accusations, although he is still cheeky and refuses to resign, but under the premise of a large number of Boer officials, he can only use more British and Chinese employees.

So this year, the graduates of the University of Nyasaland are assigned to work in the Ministry of Education is a bit too much, and Sidney Milner has gone to great lengths to bring back more than 80 graduates from Nyasaland, and nearly a quarter of them have gone to the Ministry of Education.

Of these more than 80 people, most of whom are of Chinese descent, with only nine British graduates, the University of Nyasaland began to train talents in batches, which also means that the rule of officials in southern Africa has entered a new stage.

In the previous colonial authorities in southern Africa, the government basically did not have much leeway for the selection of employees, and this situation in southern Africa determined that the first-class talents would definitely return to work in the United Kingdom, and then the second-rate talents were all recruited by large enterprises in southern Africa, leaving not many talents for the colonial government, so it led to frequent problems after the establishment of the federal government.

Ade attaches great importance to the group of government employees, after the establishment of the federal government, Ade began to implement the civil service system in southern Africa, although the prime minister will still be elected in southern Africa in the future, but the prime minister only has the right to form a cabinet, and ordinary employees will not be affected, so Roque will say that some departments of the federal government, even if they keep a dog on a leash in the minister's office, will not cause much trouble.

In this way, the requirements for government employees are relatively high, and southern Africa during the colonial government may be able to read and write to work in the colonial government, and the future federal government, if there is no formal university experience, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult to enter the federal government.

The same is true for the Ministry of Justice.

Nominally, the justices and independent prosecutors of the federal government are also graduates of prestigious universities and have rich experience, and the overall quality can be said to be the highest within the federal government.

In fact, the quality of the justices and independent prosecutors is also uneven, there are few justices and independent prosecutors who are truly trusted by Roque, Elliot Field is counted as one, and Duke Cowper, the former chief justice of the Transvaal and one of the six current justices of the federal government, is barely the other.

The reason why it is reluctant is that it depends on the good relationship between Roque and Duke Cooper in the past, and Duke Cooper is not very good in terms of business ability, but it is already good in southern Africa.

Like Roque, Duke Cowper is now the deputy secretary of attorney general, and Roque is mainly responsible for this part of the enforcement at the Ministry of Justice, and Duke Cowper is mainly responsible for the trial and the management of the court and judges.

Roque must have consulted Duke Cooper to strengthen his management of the Department of Justice.

"I am going to set up a special investigation section within the Ministry of Justice to supervise and inspect the staff of the federal government, and there are a lot of problems during this time, and the prime minister is very dissatisfied, we have to do something, otherwise we will inevitably be attacked by public opinion." Roque tried to speak as lightly as possible without causing Duke Cooper's disgust.

Oversight of federal government staff, including those of the Department of Justice, would have given the Special Investigation Section a bit of power, and Duke Cowper would have been suspicious, since no one wanted to have their eyes on them all day.

"Lord, the functional departments of the federal government are for the federal government, and you have to grasp this degree." Duke Cowper vaguely reminded that this is also a personal essence, even if Roque said vaguely, he immediately understood Roque's intentions.

To put it bluntly, the main purpose of the existence of the Ministry of Justice is to fight against criminal groups, and this group certainly includes government employees.

However, in Duke Cooper's understanding, when it comes to the group of government employees, it is better not to go too far, it is almost enough to give an explanation to the outside world, it is impossible to really put an end to illegal crimes, and the procedures of the Ministry of Justice staff are not illegal in many cases, and if you really want to set up such a department, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that there will be controversy within the Ministry of Justice.

"I understand-" Roque didn't explain too much, although they are both deputy ministers, but the powers are not the same, in the Department of Justice, Roque, the deputy minister, obviously has more power than Duke Cowper, the deputy minister, on this issue, in fact, Roque does not need Duke Cowper's consent, now it is just a procedure.

"Shouldn't the Judicial Council have a normal system of work?" Duke Cooper also has his own requirements.

In accordance with the 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 committee, six justices of the federal government, four independent prosecutors, plus two ministers, Henry and Roque, together to form the judicial committee of Southern Africa.

It is a pity that the current situation in southern Africa has determined that the Judicial Council has almost existed in name only, and since its establishment, it has not even met a few times, and many members have not even met in person.

There is no way to do it, the six justices of the federal government, working in Pretoria, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Durban, and Port Edward, everyone is very busy with work, and 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 constraint on independent prosecutors, and independent prosecutors do not even need to report to the Ministry of Justice all the time, let alone stay in Cape Town every day.

There are also Henry and Roque, two ministers, Henry, as the Minister of Justice, has to stay in Pretoria for a long time, and Roque wears many hats, staying in Nyasaland for more time than staying in Pretoria, after Cape Town became the judicial capital of the federal government, Roque has not been to Cape Town once, and he really has no time to doppelgänger.

However, Roque also had a solution, although it was impossible for the commissioners to stay in Cape Town forever, it was still necessary to set up an office in Cape Town, and it was enough to send a person in charge to preside over the work, and the commissioners did not need to stay in Cape Town all the time.

"That's fine, in recent times, there has been a proposal in Cape Town to abolish all the courts in southern Africa except Cape Town, and to bring criminals to Cape Town for trial, so as to strengthen Cape Town's position as the judicial capital, and if I want to say that these people are in the water, if that is the case, the size of the Ministry of Justice will be doubled now, and there will be not enough manpower." Duke Cooper is in his sixties and will soon reach retirement age, so he doesn't have much desire for power.

Although there is no such thing as retirement in southern Africa, birth, old age, sickness and death are always inevitable, like Dr. Starr Jameson, who shouts every day that he is sick and wants to die, but there are still very few people who do not die, and the chief justices and independent prosecutors in southern Africa are all for life, as long as people live, this position can be held forever, but once they hold this position, it is almost impossible to go further.

The main reason is that Henry and Roque are too young, and if there is no accident, these two can stay in the ministerial position for decades, and the others basically have no chance.

"This incident has been a wake-up call to us that if those criminals were tried in Pretoria, there would be no such surprises, so it is impossible to abolish all the courts except Cape Town, and then we will strengthen the construction of courts everywhere to try not to happen again." Although Cape Town was Roque's first stop in this time and space, Roque did not have much special affection for Cape Town, and Cape Town became the judicial capital of Southern Africa, which also took care of Cape Town's status in Southern Africa, and even so, Cape Town was inevitably marginalized in Southern Africa.

Before the opening of the Suez Canal, Cape Town, as the southernmost supply port on the African continent, played a very important role in the east-west shipping, and almost all ships had to pass through Cape Town to resupply, so Britain would not hesitate to start a war and 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, rather than bypassing the entire African continent, it is estimated that until the outbreak of the world war, because of the blockade of the Suez Canal by the German army, Cape Town has a stage of return, and then Cape Town's status will decline all the way.

That's why Roque didn't bother in Cape Town, and now the Transvaal and Nyasaland are the focus of Roque's attention.

After communicating with Duke Cooper, the Ministry of Justice has an additional department called the Special Investigation Section, although it is only a section-level department, the level is not high, but it is very powerful, not only to supervise federal government personnel, but also to be responsible for the intelligence work of the Ministry of Justice in southern Africa.

To put it bluntly, Roque copied another Brad in the Department of Justice.

The person to serve as the head of the Special Investigation Section is Louis, who is Lu Si, who used to be the umbrella.

Lu Si is one of the founders of the umbrella, and he is also experienced in intelligence work, at least compared with the current staff of the Ministry of Justice.

"The task of the Special Investigation Section is mainly to supervise government workers, but you do not have enforcement powers, and even if you find a crime, you have to transfer it to the Police Division, and of course, you also have the right to supervise the Police Division." Roque still has restrictions on the powers of the Special Investigation Section, and the police system in southern Africa is also part of the Ministry of Justice, so Roque cannot artificially create a conflict of power.
