LOBATSE: Disgraced former police officer Kenosi Kamina, 43, hailing from Maun, has embarked on a legal battle against the Attorney General, demanding a sum of P525,019.96 as compensation for the violation of his rights and the enduring anguish of fear and isolation.

This lawsuit follows Kamina's dismissal and subsequent acquittal in a case from 2015, wherein he stood accused of stealing two cattle along three others.

Presenting his case before Justice Modiri Letsididi of the Lobatse High Court during the ongoing trial, Kamina recounted the events of 2015 when he, along with three others, faced charges of cattle theft. Despite emerging victorious in the case, it left him burdened with legal expenses and a tarnished reputation. He now seeks compensation as he grapples with settling the mounting legal bills that accumulated during the protracted four-year legal battle, compounded by his expulsion from the Botswana Police.
