She said true balance beyond the bench will remain impossible if judges and magistrates are poorly supported, and urged all stakeholders to create the enabling environment for effective justice delivery.

She said while constructive criticism is legitimate in a democracy, “personal and physical attacks and attempts to vilify magistrates and judges for performing their duties undermine public confidence in the justice system and threaten judicial independence.
