    "content": "body that has wide representation in society; the Judiciary, Executive, legal profession and members of the public. Further, the procedure of appointing or recommending persons to be appointed as judges is also regulated in the Constitution. Article 172(2)(a) of the Constitution states that the process of sending those nominees to the President must be done in a competitive and transparent process. Therefore, the JSC is obligated to place advertisements in the newspapers and conduct interviews before they forward the names of the nominees to the President. Article 166 of the Constitution binds the President to appoint the Chief Justice and other judges in accordance with the recommendation of the JSC. What one can infer from the clear reading of the Constitution is that the President has been given very little leeway when it comes to picking names of judges who have been recommended by the JSC. It simply means that if there are 10 slots, the JSC will recommend 10 persons from whom the president must appoint judges."
