Court Upholds Teaching Commission Appointments

The High Court just ruled that President Ali’s appointment of the Teaching Service Commission was valid, rejecting Terrence Campbell’s claim that the President needed to consult the vacant Office of Leader of the Opposition — a requirement that couldn’t be fulfilled since July 2023. Justice Damone Younge sided with the Attorney General, stressing that the Constitution must remain practical and not paralyze essential institutions. The court emphasized that filling political offices like the Leader of the Opposition is the Assembly’s responsibility — not the President’s — and that letting the Commission sit idle would’ve caused chaos in education. The ruling upheld the appointments and ordered both sides to bear their own legal costs, reinforcing that public institutions must keep running even amid political vacancies.
