The Chairperson should clarify the following:- (1) Is the Government aware that the declaration of the retirement of Justices Kalpana Rawal and Philip Tunoi by the Court of Appeal which was upheld by the Supreme Court; and the exit of the Chief Justice Mutunga today has left a skeleton and headless Supreme Court which is technically functionless? (2) In view of the vital role played by the Supreme Court, what is being done to expedite the recruitments to fill these vacancies? (3) Why has the Government Printer refused to gazette the vacancies of the Chief Justice, the Deputy Chief Justice and the Judge of the Supreme Court in spite of communication in writing from the Registrar of the Judiciary to that effect? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
