AG's vehicle goes under the hammer

Friday, April 25, 2014

A vehicle belonging to the Attorney General (AG) Chambers will go under the hammer next month to cover the costs of a case involving 113 nursing lecturers from the Institute of Health Sciences (IHS).

Deputy Sheriff James Moyo is set to auction the BMW on May 6 at Broadhurst Police Station, to recover legal costs for lawyers representing the lecturers, according to a court order. Yesterday, Walter David Ditiro, representing the lecturers, confirmed to Mmegi that the AG’s vehicle would be auctioned to cover costs incurred during a legal battle with government in 2012.

In August 2012, Francistown High Court Judge, Gaopalelwe Ketlogetswe, issued a default judgment against the government ordering that the IHS lecturers be paid overtime allowances within 60 days.
