According to a press release dated May 14th, 2023, the Judiciary Committee appointed 14 Deputy Registrars, 8 Assistant Registrars, and 20 Chief Magistrates in acting capacity for a period of one year and the Commission also appointed 22 Court Clerks and 33 Office Attendants.

We have appointed you to work for the people not for your own good,”.
