What Our Directors Say

The Directorate of Investigation and Disciplinary Affairs of Federal Judges is one of the Directorates under the Office of the Federal Judges Administration Council and is working to create a judicial body that is based on values and has superior professional ethics to ensure accountability on the principle of judicial accountability.
Therefore, in 2016, the directorate accepted the disciplinary charges submitted according to the duties and responsibilities, organized petitions, worked together with the ethics and discipline committee of the federal judges, and was able to reach a better result. 

Therefore, I would like to state that in the future, apart from presenting the complaints in person, a procedural system has been put in place to provide appropriate service and exchange of information by using the institution’s website.

The pivotal role of the Ethiopian Federal Judicial Council lies in the establishment and maintenance of an efficient judicial system within the nation. This includes the appointment and removal of judges, supervision of judicial operations, provision of educational programs, management of financial resources, and development of policies to adapt to evolving legal frameworks. Interaction with the public is also a core function to ensure transparency, accountability, and the cultivation of trust and satisfaction among citizens. Continuous reform is indispensable for achieving these objectives. Thus, the Reform and Good Governance Directorate, an integral component of the Council’s secretariat, spearheads this crucial agenda. Responsibilities of the Directorate encompass preparing physical and budget planning and its reports, performance monitoring of judges and staff, assessment of advancements, and utilization of feedback to shape forthcoming training schemes and projects. Furthermore, active participation in local and international platforms is undertaken by the Directorate to enhance the institution’s readiness in embracing appropriate reform strategies and mechanisms. Additionally, the Directorate diligently conveys the mission and vision of the institution to essential stakeholders, service beneficiaries, and the broader public.

As the Director of Reform and Good Governance, it is crucial to confidently emphasize our unwavering commitment to building strong partnerships, fostering collaboration, and implementing robust communication.
