For the first time, the Commission conducted the appointment of Staff of the Judiciary service. The increase in the number of Judicial Officers being appointed, has resulted in the rise in the number of Complaints against Judicial Officers. Complaints against misconduct of Staff of the Judiciary have also been received. With the increase in the number of declarations and the rise in the number of complaints being received, the Commission is severely constrained to discharge its Constitutional Mandate in terms of Article 146 of the Constitution, in a timely manner. On account of this situation, the Commission discharges its mandate in order of priority and sequences its activities, as human and other resources permit.
