Council attorney wins against AG, FCC

The respondent in the matter was the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development while the AG and FCC were cited as the first and second defendants respectively.

This week, Justice Bashi Moesi hammered the last nail in the coffin of the defendants by issuing a draft consent order that reads as follows: “The respondent having fully complied with the order of this Court dated August 25, 2020 on November 15, 2020, this application shall stand withdrawn. The respondent shall pay the costs of the application on attorney and own client scale”.
