PARAMARIBO, Suriname, Aug 27, CMC – The Court of Justice (ECJ) says it will continue to maintain its independence and impartiality, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and international legal standards as it defended a decision to hand out tokens to several people, including former government ministers.
In a statement, the EC said that it regrets that its traditional gesture of thanks to former ministers and former members of parliament is perceived by sections of society as a reward for services rendered or a violation of the principle of separation of powers.
“It is emphatically confirmed that the judiciary will continue to maintain its independence and impartiality unabated, in accordance with the provisions of our Constitution and international legal standards,” the ECJ said in a statement.
