THE Judicial Service commission (JSC) has bemoaned the crippling shortage of judges which has resulted in a huge increase in the backlog of criminal and constitutional cases.
This was disclosed by JSC secretary, Advocate ‘Mathato Sekoai, in her court affidavit filed in opposition of Law and Justice Minister’s counter-application for the nullification of the process initiated by Acting Chief Justice ‘Maseforo Mahase and Attorney General Haae Phoofolo to recruit five new judges.
Adv Sekoai is JSC secretary by virtue of being the registrar of the High Court and Court of Appeal. Her affidavit represents Justice Mahase who authorised her to depose it.
