Maraga reportedly cancelled the meeting, which was settled on after a stormy session on September 30 when the JSC sub-committee steering the recruitment issued its report. “We are determined to expeditiously deliver a Chief Justice with absolute integrity and one whom the public will have confidence in,” he said. He reported that JSC on September 16 resolved to appoint a sub-committee to chart a roadmap for recruiting the CJ and transitional arrangements. It recommended to the full commission the immediate commencement of the recruitment of the next CJ, including advertising for the post. An elaborate plot is afoot within the JSC to force out Maraga before his tenure expires.
