His comment comes after some judges at the Court of Appeal appealed against the decision to knock down their official residences to clear the way for the construction of a National Cathedral.
The judges see the move as a form of interference from the Executive in the Judiciary, an independent arm of government to set a bad precedent.
Others have also argued that building of the cathedral does not make economic and social sense for the government to approve of the planned demolishing of their residence and further relocate them.
