The Namibian judiciary has in recent years made judicial pronouncements that have divided public opinion. This increased public interest in the work of the judges, as a consequence, has attracted acute criticisms on the judiciary by some sections of society. Some sections of society have the judiciary of deciding cases according to their political affiliation, thus questioning the independence of the Namibian judiciary. This is particularly the case in matters that involve government or the ruling party. Some sections of society have argued that judges decide cases according to their political affiliation; and that this was exemplified in recent judicial pronouncements in Ithula v the Electoral Commission of Namibia and also in Sisa Namandje v Law Society of Namibia. And yet others, still hold to the view that judges decide cases according to well established rules of legal interpretation.

In light of the above, write an article in which you debate whether judges decide cases according to their political affiliation or according to well established legal rules
