Why has there not been a single part-time Judge appointed?

Oct 11, 2011 Letters

 

 

DEAR EDITOR,
Attorney-at-Law Anil Nandlall has given a glimpse of his vision for the judiciary in a Kaieteur News story.
Most, if not all, of his views are shared by most members of the Bar and are as old as time, but have been resisted by the establishment he supports.
However, when it comes to the appointment of Judges I need to point out that Article 128A of the Constitution provides for the appointment of “Part-time Judges”. This amendment was proposed in 2001 and adopted, specifically to address the very matter that Mr. Nandlall complains about; the case back-log.
Since its enactment a decade ago, there has not been a single Part-time Judge appointed by the President, and the pile of old cases has reached mountainous proportions. Why?
Raphael Trotman
