Justice Omphemetse Motumise has set April 17 as judgement day in one of the country’s most complex and high-stakes legal cases revolving around P422 million of public pensioners’ funds.

Late night, Motumise also ruled that former High Court judge and veteran attorney, Peter Collins remain as statutory manager of asset manager, Capital Management Botswana (CMB), in the interim while final judgement is awaited.

Mmegi has been informed, however, that CMB intends to continue denying Collins access to its offices, as it holds the position that his appointment is unlawful and subject to the pending April 17 judgement.
