President again disclaims responsibility over absence of JSC

Expressing concern at the absence of a Judicial Service Commission (JSC), President Irfaan Ali on Tuesday stated that “it is no fault of the government”.

Ali made the comment as he was being questioned on the yet-to-be confirmed appointments of a Chancellor and Chief Justice.

The President and his government have been frequently accused of holding up both the appointments at the top of the judiciary and of a new JSC.
