A spokesperson said, “The Judicial and Legal Services Committee, the Standing Committee appointed by the Governor to advise on, inter alia, judicial appointments announced today that a recruitment process is underway to fill the post of Chief Justice which will be vacated by the current incumbent Ian R. C. Kawaley on July 14, 2018.

It is a shame that one of the best is stepping down. He has made some very learned decisions on very tough issues. I wish he would continue.
