Reply:
- No, I have not been informed of such meeting. Any individual meetings between a Judge and/or members of the public, would not be reported to my office.
- Neither have I been informed of any appointment to any position, accordingly.
- I have no power to take disciplinary action against Judges. This is done by the Judicial Service Commission.
