A former Attorney General has proposed a new system. This system would create an independent body. The body would be responsible for appointing and removing Chief Justices.

The former AG believes this change is necessary. He argues that it will improve judicial independence. It will also enhance public trust in the judiciary.

Currently, the appointment process is seen as political. Critics say it undermines the integrity of the judiciary. An independent body could help address these concerns.

The proposal has sparked discussions among legal experts. Many are considering its potential impact on the justice system. Further debates are expected in the coming weeks.
