Delivering her keynote address, the honourable president of the Court Of Appeal, Hon Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, stated that an independent judiciary is necessary to ensure the Rule of Law is respected.

She insisted that the Judiciary is aware of its responsibilities, adding that an independent Judiciary is absolutely essential to the ‘rule of law’. 

“Critics routinely assert that judicial independence is not possible given the current system of judicial appointments and the only answer to this kind of theoretical comments is that they do not necessarily reflect realities. 

“Judges have frequently expressed their decisions and rulings in terms of what the ‘rule of law’ requires.

“Whatever their personal political persuasions, judges do not let political considerations influence their decisions. Judges must not be subjected to pressure and influence and they must be disposed to make impartial decisions based solely on fact and Law.”
