Judicial watchdog to review performance of all judges
Attorney general moves to increase supreme court’s bench from five to seven.

The Judicial Service Commission has decided to review the performance of all judges after a parliamentary motion called for an appraisal of the supreme court’s justices.
The review will be in line with guidelines in place to assess performance and eligibility, the JSC said in a press brief, adding that it would first seek the advice of foreign consultants.
Parliament passed a resolution last week calling on the commission to take action against the supreme court if it exceeded its legal remit.
The JSC said that a letter sent by parliament in relation to the motion had asked the commission to review the eligibility of supreme court judges and investigate corruption allegations made against them.
