The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has appointed 12 judicial officers at various ranks to service.

Also appointed are two Magistrate Grade Ones on probation.
“These appointments are to replace judicial officers who were recently appointed to higher positions in the service, or to fill a vacancy upon early retirement of a judicial officer, or to replace newly appointed officers who did not take up their appointments,” the September 1 statement reads in part.
Some of the new recruits were in private practice while others were picked and promoted from within the Judiciary.
The commission further said in accordance with Article 148(A) of the Constitution, they have also appointed non judicial staff in the Judiciary including five senior personal secretaries, one personal secretary, five court clerks/interpreters, 65 process servers, and 22 office attendants.
