Chief Justice Francis S. Korkpor has reiterated his call on judges and judicial workers with interest in contesting the pending presidential and legislative elections to quit the judiciary. The first time Justice Korkpor made the call was during the opening of the November Term of Court. The First Judicial Circuit Court which comprises Criminal Courts “A” to “E”, open on the second Monday of February, May, August and November each year. Chief Justice Korkpor noted that while judges are yet to be paid in keeping with the Judicial Cannon that bans them from participating in commercial activities, integrity issues range on within the judiciary. He called on justice actors to dedicate themselves to the duties they have to perform during the February Term of Court.
