A tribunal appointed by President Ian Khama to inquire into the conduct of the four judges of the High Court has suspended proceedings pending the determination of the court case filed by the quartet.

“Because of the court case on Monday which calls into question the appointment of judges of the tribunal, the judges of the tribunal have agreed to suspend the proceedings pending the determination by the High Court over the application of the current application,” a highly-placed source told Mmegi last night. 

On Tuesday, September 22 prior to the tribunal suspension, six newspapers, amongst them Mmegi, and one radio station, entered the fray, instructing their attorneys to request the tribunal to allow them access and live coverage of the proceedings. Given that the tribunal has been suspended, the request by the media have been deferred to a later date.
