He made this statement after the swearing-in of six newly appointed judges at the Government House on February 4th.
Chief Justice Sir Gibbs Salika said the judges come from a number of provinces and it is essential that they maintain balance.
“We are trying to have that balance in the Judiciary, we’re trying to identify talents from all over the country, so that we have a properly, truly representative bench made up of Papua New Guineans and not just one-sided.
“We do not want to have that; we would like to have it balanced.”
