According to Kubatana.com, in making the appointments, while the president would be required to consult the Judicial Services Commission, he would not be required to accept any of the body’s recommendations. Furthermore, while the president must inform the Senate if his decision is not consistent with the recommendation of the JSC, the Senate would not have the authority to block or change, or force him to change, his decision. The new law also removes a clause on running mates and retain the present system of the President appointing vice-presidents, extend the quota of extra women MPs by two more terms, add 10 more seats reserved for people aged 21 to 35 and extend the tenure of judges beyond 70 years of age. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
