President David Granger has said that it is up to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to decide if the qualifications of attorney Zanna Frank satisfy the criteria which have been laid down for the post of Deputy Deeds Registrar.

Speaking during the recording of this week’s edition of “The Public Interest,” which is to be broadcast today, Granger said that while he does not wish to speak on the appointment of a single person or address arguments made by either the current or former Attorney-General (AG), “it is up to the JSC to examine her qualifications to see whether they satisfy the criteria which have been laid down.
