Can the PSC investigate these issues?
Dear Editor,
Being a member of staff of the Supreme Court of Judicature, there are two major issues that I would like someone in the judicial system to address.
Firstly, I can remember clearly, when I had attended an interview as a result of a successful job application to the Supreme Court of Judicature, I was told by the personnel officer that in order to move up the ladder in the Judicial system I will have to upgrade myself and academic qualifications.
Yet, when I sought permission from the registrar of the Supreme Court for time off to attend classes, my application was refused, and this was done on more than one occasion.
How can I or any other member of staff upgrade ourselves and academic qualification if they are not granting us the leave to do so? This would be beneficial towards the improvement of the Judicial System and one’s self. As a result, court clerks who are resourceful and can carry out their functions effectively in court, have to tender their resignation and seek jobs else where that would offer them the opportunity. Secondly, I would really like to know why the members of staff in the Judicial System who has not signed a contract, are not being made permanent on the job after one and more years of service?
I am pleading to the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the Registrar of the Supreme Court on behalf of my fellow members of staff to please address these issues.
Supreme Court Employee
