Share
The National Association of Democratic Lawyers (Nadel) has condemned scandalous and baseless attacks on the judiciary.
The lawyer s association said it noted and welcomed increased debates on the integrity of the judiciary as this would allow for the strengthening of it. The organisation said such discussions should only be aimed at building the country s courts for the better.
There have been accusations levelled against certain members of the judiciary over the past couple of months, but so far no evidence has been presented.
The association said: We, however, caution that such conversations should be aimed at building and strengthening the judiciary. Through public scrutiny, alongside other forms of checks and balances, the judiciary will be held more accountable for their actions .
