Contempt of court case on today :: Mmegi Online

The matter in which Botswana Federation of Public Private, Parastatal Sector Union (BOFEPUSU) want permanent secretary to the President, Carter Morupisi and director of the Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM), Ruth Maphorisa to be imprisoned for contempt of Court will be heard today before High Court judge, Tshepo Motswagole.

On Monday, BOFEPUSU applied to the High Court, on urgent basis, for imprisonment of Morupisi and Maphorisa for defying a Court order handed down by Motswagole a fortnight ago.

The Judge had interdicted Government from continuing to pay salaries of public officers inclusive of three and four percent salary adjustment for the financial years 2016/17 and 2017/18 respectively. Government and Botswana Public Employees Union (BOPEU) have since applied to the Court of Appeal for stay of execution.
