OPINION: Time for top judge to resign

THE PERSISTENCE of the presiding judge of the Supreme Court in leaving his important post for banal travel demonstrates his concept of justice.
His judicial tourism has forced the vice president of the Supreme Court to present the draft of the judiciary budget to the National Assembly.
His deputy, an experienced public magistrate , has had to assume his duties, leaving his own and increasing further the workload of scarce public mahistrates in the country. Remember that Jose Ayu Prado occupies three positions simultaneously in the Court, and that every day is one more day missing for overdue criminal and, constitutional cases, and international procedures that need his knowledge.
If at this point, the lucky traveler does not understand the importance of his duties, he may opt for resignation, and allow justice to function normally.
