Earlier, Rose Nyakikongoro, one of the newly appointed commissioners of the Judicial Service Commission welcomed the proposal to raise the retirement age of judges.

The former Sheema District Woman representative has today along with 6 others appeared before parliaments appointments committee for vetting following her appointment by the president to the Commission.

Citing the former Judicial Service Commission Chairperson James Ogoola, Nyakikongoro says many aging judges are of profound integrity and need to be retained beyond the currently stipulated age of retirement.

The pursuit for constitutional amendments that might see an upward change of the retirement age of civil servants is being pushed by Nakifuma County MP, Eng Robert Kafeero Sekitoleko.

The push has attracted mixed reactions from sections of the opposition and the civil society.
