• Ozekhome, Sagay, Akpata seek better deal for judiciary, prudent management of funds
The reaction, contained in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Strategy, Ahuraka Yusuf Isah, entitled ‘State of Affairs and Demand by Justices of the Supreme Court,’ reads in part: “Judges in all climes are to be seen and not heard, and that informed why the CJN refrained from joining issues until a letter, said to be personal, was spreading across the length and breadth of the society.
“Before eight new Justices were appointed in 2020 into the apex court bench, there was no additional budget to provide new chambers with equipped library, legal assistance, residential accommodations and logistics for them. “The high cost of electricity tariff and diesel are national problems. The Chief Registrar might have budgeted for N300 per litre but diesel is now selling for over N700 per litre, and therefore, has to find a way around it without even bringing it to the attention of the CJN, but there is no way the generator would be put off if the court is sitting.
“These Supreme Court Justices are members of this society and they reside in it. They have their wives and husbands; they have their children and dependents to take care of. I don’t know who said that because it affects everybody, they should perish. What I expected the CJN to do is to say ‘I am going to take up your complaints and champion your cause before the executive that has become a rampaging bulldog.
“If we must make the desired progress in Nigeria, we must continually tell ourselves the truth, especially, when it is not convenient to do so. It is election season and we are all witnesses to the humongous war chests that politicians and political parties are amassing. The only way to insulate and make our judges immune to the temptations of being corrupted by these politicians is to assure them of a decent compensation not just while in active service but also in their retirement.
ZOo!
