Judgement reserved in Motumise/Khama case

Early this year Khama rejected the recommendation of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to appoint Motumise to the bench. Three judges Singh Walia, Abednico Tafa and Phadi Solomon said they would inform the parties about the date of judgement in good time.

Appearing for the Law Society of Botswana (LSB) and Motumise, senior counsel Wim Trengove said the refusal to appoint Motumise was unconstitutional and subject to review because it was irrational.
