We invoke the national interest to wade once again into the small, but critical matter of integrity. And we used up quite some space quoting verbatim the Preamble to the Judicial Service Code of Conduct and Ethics, based on Section 5 (1) of the Public Officer Ethics Act No. 4 of 2003 in the new Constitution.
It enumerates what is expected of judicial service officers in official and private capacity in order to maintain the dignity and integrity of the office. In fact the bar of integrity was set so high and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission envisaged as the custodian. First among equals, as it were, for not even that commission was granted absolute powers.
