The tenure of the services chiefs has been extended from three to five years through an amendment bill passed in the National Assembly to ensure the continuity and stability of the national policies.
The initial three-year term posed challenges for effective policy-making and implementation, as major decisions often require considerable time to reach fruition. The transition of leadership after a three-year period could disrupt ongoing policies, necessitating a restart of initiatives and ultimately affecting both the services and the country.
The extension to a five-year term is expected to enhance policy continuity and stability, allowing for more coherent and sustained governance.
In a related development, the Supreme Court has expanded its number of judges from 17 to 34. This increase is anticipated to significantly improve the court's efficiency, facilitating easier access to justice for the public.
With these changes, both the judicial and administrative landscapes are poised for more effective functioning, aiming to better serve the needs of the nation.
