Five weeks before acting Chancellor Carl Singh goes into retirement, the government has advertised for suitable persons to apply for the post as well as that of the Chief Justice.
The closing date for applications is January 27, a mere two weeks away and this raises concern as to whether there will be adequate time to conduct interviews and consult with the Leader of the Opposition before February 23, when Justice Singh is due to retire.
President David Granger is already facing criticism over his failure to act on a list, submitted by the Judicial Service Commission last May, of nominees to fill four positions in the judiciary.
