JSC may be reconstituted before month end

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) may likely be reconstituted before the end of this month, President David Granger disclosed yesterday.

“Well, I have had a discussion with the Minister of Legal Affairs and I am hoping that it could be done during this month of January,” Granger said when asked yesterday at State House.

The tenure of the last JSC expired more than a year ago.

The Constitution provides for the establishment of a JSC, which is to comprise the Chancellor, who is the chair, the Chief Justice, the Chairman of the Public Service Commission and such other members appointed in accordance with provisions listed in Section 2 of Article 198.
