The Attorney General has approved the draft bill proposing an extension of the retirement age of judges, marking a key step towards introducing the legislative amendments.
The Attorney General's Department said the required legal scrutiny of the draft bill has been completed, and the official legal clearance has now been forwarded to the Ministry of Justice.
With the Attorney General's approval in place, the Ministry of Justice will proceed with finalizing the draft legislation before it is published in the Government Gazette.
The proposed legislation follows the recent approval by the Cabinet of Ministers for a proposal submitted by the Ministry of Justice to increase the retirement age of judges by two years. Following its publication in the Gazette, the bill is expected to be presented to Parliament for debate and approval.
