If so, I second the motion.

So far as I am concerned, yes, that was, at last, the actual motion and you may

I will put this to vote ASAP

[Victor Siege]

I'll be completely honest, I do not understand the proposal.

We're creating a new position to oversee trials but I'm not sure why.

[Datford-Zyvetskistaahn]

Presently, all trials are under the purview of the Scribe of Seshat, who is responsible to the Pharaoh (and, indeed, who's position could be removed entirely, with the Pharaoh overseeing it personally), this would include trials of the Pharaoh themselves. It is my view, and it appears the view of at least some others, that it would not be the best for justice in Osiris for the Pharaoh to be able to direct their own prosecution, for the Pharaoh has an obvious interest in not being prosecuted. The Bill, then, allows for the Keeper of the Deshret to prosecute, or appoint someone else to prosecute, in the extraordinary case of crimes allegedly committed by the Pharaoh.

[Victor Siege]

I see. Thank you for the concise explanation?

[Datford-Zyvetskistaahn]

Just to note, if I may, this is presently at vote here.

[Datford-Zyvetskistaahn]

Seeing as this bill has spectacularly failed (though admittedly more spectacularly than I had thought likely), I'm going to let this lie and move onto another matter.
