Enhancing Judicial Integrity: Arrest of court judges

The events unfolding since Saturday 8th October 2016 involving the State Security Services, SSS (or the Department of State Security Services, DSS) and arrest of judicial officers have been cause for concern. The arrests over allegations of corruption came at an auspicious time given that in July 2016 we launched our Judicial Integrity Project aimed at increasing social accountability of our judicial sector. Stakeholders within and outside the judicial sector agree on the need to cleanse the judicial system and rid it of corruption.
