CJ race wide open as hopefuls yet to apply three days to deadline

No one has applied for the vacant Chief Justice (CJ) position with only three days to the deadline.

By Friday, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) secretariat had not received a single application for the three positions in a race said to be largely drawn between Judiciary “insiders” and “outsiders”.
