The Parliament Sectoral Oversight Committee on Anti-Corruption and the Media is considering a proposal to increase the number of Supreme Court Justices from the current 11 to 15. This recommendation by the Committee is for the purpose of enhancing the capacity of the judicial system to handle the mounting number of cases, according to Parliament sources. The Committee also agreed that the delays in court proceedings were a serious issue and has asked for a thorough investigation into the whole matter of delays, a Parliament communique said.
