And while students were ready to march for Kelvin before and after he re-appeared, the Bar Association is also engaged and ready to take it to the wire with the Chief Justice. They say if he can't keep to a strict timeline in delivering long delayed judgements he should be removed for "misbehaviour in office."
Yesterday the Prime Minster said that the government is paying for help to have those judgments delivered on time:...
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow - Prime Minister
"So where the Chief Justice has agreed to accept assistance from two retired judges from the Caribbean, these are persons found by Sir Dennis Byron, the president of the CCJ, assistance that we have to pay for, of course, but that's not really an issue. We are not nearly as broke as you people seem to think you know. It's not that everything is coming up roses or that we are in clover but we're managing well. We can do what we need to do. With the advent of those two judges to assist the Chief Justice, I am extremely confident that he will then be able to clear up this backlog by the point in time, in December, that he has committed to do this."
