The recommendations for the substantive appointments of Justice Roxane George as Chancellor of the Judiciary and Justice Navindra Singh as Chief Justice remain unchanged, President Dr Irfaan Ali has confirmed on Wednesday.

“I had already expressed, through a letter to the then opposition leader [Aubrey Norton], my intentions of proposing the appointment of the Chancellor and the Chief Justice. That letter reaffirmed the position of the Government,” the President declared while responding to questions from the media on Wednesday.

Currently, Justice George is performing duties as acting Chancellor, and Justice Singh as acting chief Justice. They were appointed to these positions in August 2025.
