Manning said the Judiciary will have to account to the ministry which will have “responsibility to provide all the Judiciary requires to be able to exercise, independently, their independent function.” Manning further stated: “And the best way we believe that could now be done is by way of a ministry of justice.” Noting that there was the potential for encroaching on judicial independence, the PM said the initiative was considered as part of the Government’s proposed Constitution reform. Maharaj sees nothing wrong with the Judiciary being accountable to the Government in respect of administrative matters, like a backlog of cases.
“Government is accountable to the Parliament for issues like a backlog of cases in court and issues relating to administration in the justice system.” He states further, “But the Prime Minister cannot question the judgement of a court, unless he questions that judgement in an appeal to a higher court. “He can only make them account to a higher court. The Judiciary and the courts are not accountable to the Government for their decisions.” He said Manning called for a justice ministry while telling supporters of judges who declare the actions of Government illegal.

The ministry of justice Kamla government headed by Volney - the Judiciary will be completely independent - Min of Justice role is to ensure that Judiciary have everything it need to move cases along. It will ensure the necessary measures taken so convicted felons have no loopholes to take advantage and bog down the entire system.
In other words it will help the Judaical system succeed where in the past it failed

especially with his control over the CCJ while trying to remove the Privy Council...which kept him in check!!
