Nazri: We will not consult Bar Council, government happy with present system of judge appointment
…The terms of reference for the royal commission of inquiry was up to the government, Nazri said.
“It is not for the Bar Council to decide, but the government.
“We won’t consult them and we will not give up our right to decide.”
Nazri said the terms had not been finalised.
“We (the cabinet) have given our opinions, but the prime minister has not finalised anything yet.”
He also said the government was happy with the present system of appointing judges and would not be changing it, despite calls to set up an independent judicial appointments and promotions commission.
