“Why should a judge earn so much less than a federal legislator? There is no basis for it whatsoever. We should in fact benchmark without necessarily creating fresh new legislation because the Legislature doesn’t have any legislation about their own salaries.
“If we benchmark what a federal judicial officer/Court of Appeal Judge earns to what a House of Representatives member earns, you’d find a startling difference. If you benchmark a Supreme Court Justice to what a Senator earns, you’d notice the difference. If we start that quick process now, we would not have to go through the rigorous process of legislation. We would just benchmark the salaries even if we are going to call it allowances.
“The truth of the matter is that the responsibilities of the judge or justice of the Supreme Court/Court of Appeal are such they must be well remunerated. They are such that when they retire, they must be able to go to homes that they own in decent places where they live. That’s the way it should be. We shouldn’t have a situation where judges are anxious that when they retire, they won’t have homes to go to, because their salaries today can’t build anything decent.
“We must strengthen the processes of reviewing performance, incentivising excellence, and penalising misconduct.”All rights reserved.

So who is going to fix it? The Mechanics or Plumber?
Legislators should be part-time job, there salaries and allowances should be slashed drastically. 80% of them do contribute nothing to the development of the nation, just to sleep during plenary, and shout hiii and naaa

7 years in office and you still give feedbacks like this, making the self orchestrated PR more obvious. Judges should earn more but what actions are you going to take. These propagandas during elections is becoming quite tiring
