EFSCRJ Calls for Transparency on the Appointment of the Incoming Chief Justice

The office of the Chief Justice is too important for uncertainty or opacity.

EFSCRJ calls on President Adama Barrow to make public the constitutional basis, qualifications, and process that informed the appointment of Mr. Edi M.O. Faal as Chief Justice. Transparency is essential to public confidence in the Judiciary and the rule of law.

The independence and credibility of our courts begin with confidence in the constitutional legitimacy of those who lead them.
