ABSTRACT

I have also acquainted you with the relentless struggle for economic and social development that existed before independence and which continues to exist in our society also with the aims and aspirations of our peoples for better standards of living and a more prosperous way of life and gave you some idea of the role the judiciary could meaningfully play in maintaining the rule of law, in the administration of justice and in the development of the law in our present situation. I have also apprised you of how development of the law can take place by our unswerving devotion to our Constitution for ideas and inspiration, and have explained the need for both Bench and Bar to think locally for solutions that may be obtained from locally-decided cases, and gave you some specific examples of how best we, by concerted action, can achieve that end.
