The need to spend quality time with family, party political duties, and other outside commitments has prevented the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from meeting to adopt its Standards of Procedure, now overdue by 10 months.
According to the JSC Act, the Standards of Procedure should have been adopted by January 26 this year.
The Standards of Procedure, or House Rules, are required to set the rules and regulations according to which the JSC should carry out its Constitutional responsibilities.
The JSC is an independent body constitutionally mandated to oversee the ethical standards and principles of the country’s judiciary.
