In a bid to enhance the transparency and accountability of the judicial system, the government has embarked on a constitutional amendment to revamp the process of appointing judges to high courts.
The decision aims to bring transparency and accountability to the judicial appointment system.
Sources privy to the matter said that the government has informed members of the Judicial Commission about the proposed amendment, which is expected to alter the composition of the commission itself.
The Minister of Law has briefed the commission on the details of the constitutional amendment.
While the amendment process is underway, deliberations on amending existing rules have been temporarily postponed, underscoring the government's focus on prioritizing constitutional amendments to address structural deficiencies in the judicial appointment process.
