Okay I finally get my hands on the Chief Justice’s speech. This is what he actually said in part:
“….Unfortunately the fact that capital allocations in this year’s budget have been further reduced will have a crippling effect on our development plans. We requested $393 million for the development programme for 2009/2010. Our budget allocation was $42.5 million….”
I however based my initial post on this from the Express:
“….Refurbishing of this country’s courts and the implementation of various training programmes have been placed on hold, as financing allocated to the judiciary has been drastically slashed by the Government, Chief Justice Ivor Archie said during yesterday’s opening of the new law term
According to Chief Justice Archie, while some $349 million was requested, only $42.5 million was received and this would affect how the judiciary runs its affairs for the new session. This disclosure caused those in attendance to gasp with many shaking their heads in amazement….”
