Ejembi Eko, retired justice of the supreme court, has asked the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to probe the management of budgetary allocations to the judiciary.
He said despite an increase in the judiciary’s budgetary allocation, it was perplexing that judges’ welfare remained unimpressive. “As it is presently, and as the director of budget in the federal ministry of finance disclosed recently at the memorial lecture in honour of the late Abdullahi Ibrahim, SAN, it is baffling that the welfare of judges remains in abject state, in spite of the increase of the budgetary allocation to the judiciary under this regime. Why?
“Nothing stops the office of the auditor-general of the federation, the ICPC and other investigatory agencies from opening the books of the judiciary to expose the corruption in the management of their budgetary resources.“In most jurisdictions, the chief registrars regard themselves as direct subordinates of even the spouses of heads of court and allow themselves to be directed willy-nilly in the vandalisation of the judiciary budget.
