President Boko Urges Judges to Speak Truth to Power
President Duma Boko has called on judges in Southern and Eastern Africa to be bold, independent, and knowledgeable in their duties.
The judiciary must not only be free from interference, but also firm in defending the rule of law, no matter the pressure.
The Southern and Eastern Africa Chief Justices’ Forum, hosted by the Administration of Justice, brought together judges, lawyers, and legal scholars to share experiences and strengthen justice systems.
- The four-day forum was held in Gaborone.
- It aimed to promote the rule of law and judicial independence in the region.
However, the appointment of 81-year-old Motlatsi Molapise as a special advisor to the President has raised concerns about the judiciary's independence.
