Two judges at the High Court had their services with the Judiciary terminated during the course of last week, the Daily Observer can reveal.
Dependable sources close to the Judiciary disclosed that Justice BY Camara, whose appointment took effect on July 1 and Justice Haddy Roche of the Miscellaneous and Land Division of the High Court, reportedly received their marching orders on Thursday.
Justice Roche was once a magistrate at the Kanifing Magistrates Court and Justice BY Camara, was a former principal magistrate at the Banjul Magistrates Court, recently elevated to the Bench. No reason was advanced for the two high profile terminations in the country’s judicial establishment.
When contacted, BY Camara, who had served as a master of High Court, confirmed the termination of his services. Justice Roche could not be reached for comments. However, a judicial official confirmed the story to the Daily Observer.
