The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami , has denied blaming the judiciary for the delay in the trial of corruption cases in the country.Malami had, in a television interview on Monday, said the judiciary was responsible for the delay in the dispensation of justice in the country, especially in the trial of corruption cases.
But the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant , Yusuf Isah, said the judiciary was neither in charge of investigation nor the political and economic conditions that facilitate speedy disposal of corruption cases.But Malami, in a statement on Wednesday by his Special Assistant , Dr. Umar Gwandu, said his comment was construed to evoke an unintended and non-existing inferences.
According to him, the Federal Government recognises the sanctity of the provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6 of the 1999 Constitution that delineate the roles and responsibilities of the executives, legislature and judiciary. He said it was on that note that the Federal Government supported the review of Section 121 of the Constitution to accommodate financial autonomy of the state legislature and judiciary.
Malami explained that the Federal Government also came up with Executive Order 10 to enforce the autonomy.
