Failure to reconstitute service commissions disservice to the nation – Chief Justice

Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George SC

Acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC has decried the failure to constitute or reconstitute the constitutional service commissions in a timely manner, calling the situation “highly unfortunate.”

“This is a disservice to the entities with which they are integrally involved, and therefore to the nation as a whole,” she asserted on Tuesday after delivering a ruling in which she affirmed appointments of the Chairpersons of the Police Service Commission and the Integrity Commission.

Her finding was that the President had meaningfully consulted with the Leader of the Opposition before making those appointments.
