A retired Supreme Court Judge, Justice William Atuguba has warned of dire consequences for the country if what he described as 'politicisation of the judiciary' does not cease.
Justice Atuguba believes that the reasoning of the 5 Supreme Court judges in the vacant seats was underpinned by political considerations.
According to him, but for political considerations, the judges would not have accepted jurisdiction for the case in the first place.
He explained that the Supreme Court should always take up cases in which it has "original or exclusive jurisdiction, not "referenced or concurrent jurisdiction." He cited decided cases to buttress his claim.
