    "content": "The Chairperson should inquire into and report to the House on the following matters:- (i) the terms of service of the members of the Judicial Service Commission including, but not limited to their pay, remuneration and allowances; (ii) the frequency of their meetings and pay for the allowances so far paid to individual members of the Commission; (iii) whether the Judicial Service Commission, having been adversely mentioned at the commencement of the investigation by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, can fairly and impartially investigate or sit in judgment on matters concerning the conduct of the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary; (iv) whether the Judicial Service Commission, having been adversely mentioned at the commencement of investigations and being in part responsible for accountable use of judicial funds, can reasonably, fairly, and impartially investigate or sit in judgment on claims of financial impropriety in the Judiciary; and, (v) whether some members of the Judicial Service Commission attempted to interfere with the investigations by the Banking Fraud Unit of the police service on alleged fraud of Judiciary’s funds and stop prosecution of those found culpable. Hon. Deputy Speaker, finally, I want the Chairman of the Committee to state to us whether the act of members of the Judicial Service Commission of refusing to appear before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee amounts to misconduct within the meaning of the Constitution and the law. The public needs to know about this issue because the Judiciary is an institution that started reforms in this country. However, of late, some members of the public have got discouraged and they do not accept some of the judgments. We need the Judiciary to put its House in order to win the confidence of the public.
