Adamawa State House of Assembly Joint Committees on Public Service and Electoral Matters and that Justice and Judiciary have faulted the immediate past Assembly and former Governor Muhammad Umar Jibrilla, for not following due process in the appointment of Members of the state Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
The Committees headed by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Pwamwakeno Mackondo(Numan) for Justice and Judiciary and Hon. Adwawa Donglock(Guyuk) for Public Service and Electoral Matters, told the house of the Assembly that their findings revealed that the past Assembly and former Governor Bindow, erred in the appointment of the members of JSC.
The committees in its report submitted at a resumed plenary session by Hon. Adwawa, declared that it is in conformity with the provision of the1999 Constitution as amended for the governor to make nomination and forward same to the house of assembly for confirmation and approval.
According to the report, the governor had violated sections 197 and 198 of the Constitution which provided for appointment by executive arm and followed by confirmation and approval by the hallowed chamber before swearing, but according to the report, reverse was the case in the past administration.
But speaking on the report, the member representing Guyuk constituency at the House of Assembly, Hon. Adwawa Donglock, said that the past administration outrightly violated the sections of the Constitution by swearing in those appointed without confirmation and approval from the house.
Hon. Donglock, observed that the house on its part, used the word "ratification" instead of "confirmation" even when those nominated had already assumed office.
