GJKKO faces criticism over administrative fines and legal disputes

The GJKKO institution has faced criticism regarding its recent shift in function, moving from a judicial role toward an emphasis on issuing fines. Concerns have been raised that the institution is imposing penalties for violations not explicitly recognized by law, creating a distinction between legal enforcement and arbitrary administration.

A conflict has emerged involving lawyers who are protesting administrative rules imposed by court leadership. While the Code of Criminal Procedure allows for measures against lawyers who obstruct judicial processes, critics argue that the current situation involves lawyers contesting administrative conditions that hinder their ability to practice and enter courtrooms, rather than an attempt to delay justice.
