Moral probity, proper staffing key in Judiciary reforms

No doubt, the Judiciary requires urgent salvation from forces of impunity. The acceleration of justice is coming up against serious impediments that need ironing out before elections. This can only happen if and when the Judiciary reforms are devoid of possible witch-hunt and frivolity. Its decisions must of necessity be plausible to inspire confidence in its clientele – justice seekers.

One of the reasons corruption is endemic is because the Judiciary has for a long time been perceived to have surrendered its mandate, and moral authority to perpetrators of heinous crimes. There has been a significant improvement in judicial services, but this arm of Government still has a lot of ground to cover to shed the tag of being a haven of incorrigible professionals.
