CJ seeks expedited appeal against Komboni

In an application filed at the Court of Appeal (CoA) and set for hearing today, Rannowane also wants the court to make an interim order returnable on May 5, 2023, and or pending when the appeal matter to be heard is finalised, directing the stay of execution of all orders made by Maun High Court in relation to his case against Komboni.

Rannowane and Gaborone High Court Judge, justice Komboni have been engaged in a bitter legal battle following last year’s decision to relocate the latter to Francistown High Court. Komboni challenged his relocation as well as the CJ's powers to judicial powers to transfer judges by instituting proceedings before Maun High Court judge, Justice Professor Bugalo Maripe.
