At least 2,290 judicial staff currently serving in various positions are set to be promoted following approval by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
Some 46 others, the Commission said, are set for re-designation.
In a notice dated October 23, JSC announced it has already approved the staff job description and career progression guidelines.
This, it says, took effect September 13.
“The guidelines outline the career and grading structure, duties and responsibilities, qualifications and experience required for the various levels within the grading structure,” reads the statement.
These new guidelines, the Commission noted, are set to inform career progression for other job groups.
The decision by the commission follows a meeting held September 29 where it approved job group JSG 11/10 and 9/8 to be common carders.
This, in effect, means “staff in job groups JSG 11 and 9 will automatically be promoted provided they have served for a minimum of three years, have no disciplinary issues and have recorded satisfactory performance”.
JSC has further acknowledged the role played by the staff in supporting the Judiciary discharge of its mandate in administering justice.
“JSC reaffirms its commitment to improving their conditions of service by enhancing employee satisfaction and providing opportunities for career growth,” the statement further states.
In its five-year strategic plan for 2022-27, JSC has highlighted the importance of having professional, motivated and responsive staff.
Article 172 of the Constitution mandates the Commission to promote and facilitate the independence and accountability of the judiciary.
It provides that for the efficient, effective and transparent administration of justice, it shall review and make recommendations on the conditions of service for the judges, judicial officers and other staff.
