British Colonial Conference Minutes To Resolve Judicial Debacle

Early this year Khama rejected the recommendation of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to appoint Omphemetse Motumise to the bench. Three judges: Singh Walia, Abednico Tafa and Phadi Solomon have been appointed to hear the case. The lawyer for LSB and Motumise, Tshiamo Rantao, said the argument for this case is at the High Court in Gaborone today.

In his supplementary replying affidavit, the LSB executive secretary, Tebogo Moipolai, said attached to his affidavit is an excerpt of the minutes of the Bechuanaland Independent Conference held in London in 1966.
