CHIEF JUSTICE SAVAGE ADDRESSES JUDICIAL STAFF
By Lamin Fatty
The chief Justice of The Gambia, Abdou Karim Savage has told the Registrars and the enforcement officers that the Judiciary has a collective responsibility that needs to be shared and should be shared with everybody. Mr. Savage made these remarks recently at the Paradise Suit Hotel, where he was opening a two-week middle management training course organised for registrars and enforcement officers of the Judiciary. According to the Chief Justice, the Judiciary has a big responsibility, which must be shared, collectively by Judges, Magistrates, top judicial officers and legal practioners on both sides of the spectrum. The work environment is visibly changing for the better with the help of Donors like DFID, World Bank, UNDP, and UNICEF who are actively providing meaningful support and assistance in various areas of the Judiciary. He said all these initiatives are all being taken to enhance the administration of Justice in The Gambia; to expedite proceedings and cases in the court and to introduce efficiency and effectiveness in the work of the courts generally. He finally urged them to take the training seriously because it is one thing to be trained and another one to make best use of the training. He pointed out that the court registrars especially those of superior courts, and enforcement agents also share the same responsibility. He stated that registrars are at the front line, managing court registries and the enforcement process with direct responsibility for court files, records and exhibits. He said they facilitate the process for the various Judges and magistrates and serve as a very vital link in the Justice delivery system. He therefore told them that they have crucial roles to play, stating that if their duties and functions are not property performed, it will lead to inefficiency and inordinate delays. He highlighted that the Judicial Service Commission has over the past months improved.
