Why TSC must pay or face contempt charges

On August 24, the Supreme Court made a ruling which has elicited and sustained nationwide discourse each and every day since the decision.

The ruling, in the above cited case filed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), challenged a ruling of the Court of Appeal onthe national hot potato – teachers’ salary review. Without exciting your emotions, the Supreme Court simply stated that it does not have jurisdiction (or warrant) to interfere with the exercise of ‘discretionary power’ by the Court of Appeal.
