@Yobramos4The Judiciary may have been hijacked by outsiders who are now directing its operations, a section of Muslim clerics has said. The Executive and the Judiciary have had a fractious relationship in recent years. “Article 172 says the JSC shall recommend, not force, the President to appoint judges,” Ngao said. Kithi said while the Executive holds the instruments of power and exercises dominion over its people, the Judiciary is there to check the Executive, hence the friction. “Remember, the sovereignty of the people under Article 1 surpasses the power of the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislature,” said Kithi.
