Ranking 29 globally, this is the second country in Africa that has improved its judicial independence, scoring 5.3 out of 7 on the ranking scale. In 2016, the country made a historic move in its legal history by establishing an independent body of the Judiciary that separated it from the Ministry of Justice. This ensured administrative and financial independence as it improved the country’s legal environment and enhanced the public trust in the judiciary.
