    "content": "members of the JSC drew allowances not because they had attended meetings, but because it was the order of the day. Parliament gave the Judiciary a lot of money with the intention of enabling it to dispense justice and to reform it. However, the Judiciary became a cash cow. There are cases where senior members of staff of the Judiciary, who were not supposed to draw allowances equivalent to that of Commissioners, were drawing the same allowances. In fact, in the recommendations, such officers need to be surcharged. There are also instances where valuation reports were not adhered to. On the purchase of the CJ’s residence, the valuer gave a different report, but the purchase price was different. We have cases where Commissioners formed sub-committees and wanted to run the activities of the Judiciary without due regard of the administrator of the Judiciary. In that case, you will realise that Commissioners made decisions and pushed them down the throat of the administrator against the law."
