Motumise prevails over Khama

Khama refused JSC’s recommendation to appoint veteran attorney Omphemetse Motumise in 2015.

The Law Society of Botswana (LSB) and Motumise had appealed the matter after a panel of Justices, Singh Walia, Abednego Tafa and Phadi Solomon dismissed the application last year. The respondents in this case were Khama, the JSC and the Attorney General (AG). The JSC is comprised of Chief Justice Maruping Dibotelo, CoA Judge President Ian Kirby and the AG who at the time was Athaliah Molokomme, amongst others.
