Since 2013, the regional judiciary has had essentially four iterations:

1. Supreme Court (a single elected Chief Justice)
   
2. High Court (three elected Justices) and Appellate Court (a single appointed Appellate Justice)
   
3. High Court (four elected justices with one rotating member recusing for appeals)
   
4. High Court (a single appointed Permanent Justice)
   

Farengeto has been involved in iterations #1, #3 and #4. He happens to be the only person in the region with that distinction. That alone gives him a particularly insight into the workings of the judiciary throughout the years, something that cannot be said of other possible appointees. That is not to say other appointees may not have their own strengths, my point is simply that, in this particular aspect, Farengeto is very qualified.
