Do or die for Morupisi

In the latest controversy surrounding the judiciary is the judicial hierarchy that will test the strength of the Court of Appeal and the High Court. Legally the appeals court has higher powers than the High Court and as a result, today's judgments of the appeals court may differ with that of the High Court. Debate on the jurisdiction and hierarchy in Morupisi’s case should be on the balance of law without him being caught in the cross fire.

As the Court of Appeal is expected to put to rest the long running case of the convicted former senior government official, Morupisi, the judges will need to balance the pressure of trying to prove a point to their colleagues and deliver a legally balanced decision.
