President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed a tribunal to investigate High Court judge Justice Edith Mushore’s suitability for office after she allegedly failed to report for duty since last year.
Justice Mushore is one of the judges who ruled in May last year that Malaba had ceased to be Chief Justice, upon reaching the age of mandatory retirement. Malaba later appealed the judgement and won the case.
The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) recommended setting up of the tribunal to investigate Mushore who, reportedly has not been reporting for duty since last year.
According to a Proclamation 3 of 2022 published Tuesday, Mnangagwa appointed retired judge Justice Maphios Cheda chairperson of the tribunal, and Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs secretary Virginia Mabhiza its secretary.
“The tribunal shall be held for a period of five months from the date of swearing in of members, at such appropriate venue as shall be determined by the tribunal,” reads the proclamation.
The terms of reference of the tribunal include investigating her suitability to remain in office and reasons for her failure to report for work without authorisation.
The investigation is in line with section 187 of the Constitution, which among others, provides that a judge may be removed from office only for inability to perform the function of his or her office, due to mental or physical incapacity, gross incompetence, or gross misconduct.
These are the unsung heroes of our country….
Zimbabwe needs an independent tribunal to investigate the regime
Nanette Allmark 100percent
Judiciary captured she refused to be captured our President is going astray now
Bravo Lady
Vave kutotsvaka pekumudzingira mbwa idzi…nxaaa
She didn’t buy her qualifications
There are some judges who are very committed to the rule of law,bt if the justice system is a playing ground then nothing they can do bt go to the terraces
When Mnangagwa is also not fit for the office he has proved that long way back
Why mow is it vcoz of finality by a judge that mslaba is confirmed
You are an icon mother, I really respect you for refusing to be captured. You are a wonderful jewel in the new Zimbabwe coming in 2023. We will not forget straight judges like you.
Register to vote
We need new leaders
Zimbabweans deserve better
This woman is one of the rare breed of people we find in our society today, she refused to sell her soul to the devil for a morsel of crumbs from the regime
Victimization ???
Mukuda kumuitei mwana a professional judge she did correct so you want to spoil her carrier
A tribunal should also be appointed to investigate the conduct of ED. The guy is not fit to hold the office he is currently holding. Whatever he is smoking/drinking has seriously exposed his shortcomings whenever he opens up his mouth.
Edda sending love and keep strong😘🙏🏽
ithink pamutemo wedu presdent haafanirwi kudoma macommissions mutemo ngauwandudziwe
