Following a recent report in Stabroek News that the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) will be advertising the vacancies existing in the judiciary and magistracy, Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC said it augurs well for transparency and accountability.
He said it is welcoming news as it represents a move away from the unfair traditional manner of filling those vacancies which were based on “selection,” thus creating an unfair playing field for applicants.
Some of those potential applicants he explained, would have been equally qualified as those selected, but not given the opportunity to make applications, because of the traditional process which was selection-based.
