It is in this light that executive action via a special commission is being seen as interventionist and frowned upon. During the course of the past two months, two special presidential commissions of inquiry have completed investigations and submitted their final reports to the President. Although both reports were submitted less than two months of each other, there seems to be a disparity in the manner in which action is being initiated based on the recommendations of the reports. On 31 January 2021, the President appointed another special presidential commission to implement the decisions and recommendations of the victimisation commission. The underlying question in all this is, can an ad hoc special presidential commission override the country’s judicial system?
