Former PEEPA CEO fights for reinstatement

Now dissatisfied with the decision of the Industrial Court, which also granted him three months' salary compensation of P153,015, Moumakwa has appealed the decision at the Court of Appeal (CoA) on grounds that the lower court erred by not ordering a reinstatement when none of the evidence led militated against and/or warranted the non-imposition of his reinstatement.

Moumakwa added that the court also erred in fact and in law in concluding that his relationship with the second respondent, Public Enterprises Evaluation and Privatisation Agency (PEEPA) was no longer tenable, owing to presumably irretrievable damage to trust when there was no evidence based on which the court could reasonably reach such a conclusion. Moumakwa’s five-year contract was terminated prematurely by the then Minister of Presidential Affairs, Governance and Public Administration, Nonofo Molefhi in October 2019.
