Plaintiff’s removal was effected after investigations and due deliberations in consultation with the Judicial Service Commission. The Plaintiff on the other hand argued that the petition from the Gambian Bar dated 2nd July, 2013, against him was addressed to the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, and not to the Judicial Service Commission. The Plaintiff further contends that the Attorney General is not a member of the Judicial Service Commission and placed reliance on the provisions of sections 145, 146, 147 and 148 of the 1997 Gambian Constitution as amended. In buttressing his position, the Plaintiff maintained that as the Chief Justice at that material time, he was the chairman of the Judicial Service Commission and there was no deliberation or consultation with the President before his removal, neither was there any investigation in that regard. More to this is the fact that he was in the office performing his duties until the close of work on Friday, 19th July 2013, and the letter terminating his employment which emanated from the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, on the directives of Security operatives was received on Saturday, the 20th of July, 2013. Pursuant to Section 141 (7) of the Defendants Constitution, the National Assembly shall by a resolution appoint a tribunal consisting of three persons, at least one of whom shall hold or shall have held high judicial office, who shall be the chairman of the tribunal, who shall investigate the matter and shall report to the National Assembly through the Speaker whether or not it finds the allegations specified in the motion to have been substantiated. Where the Tribunal finds any such allegation substantiated and reports to the National Assembly, the National Assembly shall consider the report at the first 30
