The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) began the search for a new Supreme Court judge, with Justice Said Chitembwe being the first candidate to face the panel.

Justice Chitembwe, who was trying his luck a second time after losing to Court of Appeal Judge Martha Koome for the Chief Justice position, yesterday told the commission corruption in the Judiciary was so high that it would not be an easy task to get rid of it.
