CJN backs Malami, seeks new salary for judges

A 17-page paper to the Senate committee titled ‘Input by the Judiciary to the Proposed Alteration to the 1999 Constitution (as Amended)’’, contains 45 constitutional amendment proposals on reforms in the Nigerian judiciary. In item 38, the CJN wants Part 1 of the Third Schedule Paragraph 21 to the Constitution be altered to include sub-paragraph ‘h’ to the effect that NJC should ‘’fix, in conjunction with Salaries and Wages Commission, salaries and other emoluments of judicial staff; in the case of judicial officers, to review such salaries no later than four years from the last exercise’’. The Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) reviewed judges’ salary by the enactment of, ’’Certain Political, Public and Judicial Office Holders (Salaries and Allowances, etc.) (Amendment) Act, 2008’’ which came into force on February 1, 2007 under Section 84(1) of the Act.
