Judges want Dibotelo impeached :: Mmegi Online

A week after Chief Justice Maruping Dibotelo reported four judges to the police on allegations of fraud, 12 judges of the High Court have written to the Judicial Service Commission seeking his impeachment.

Following the unprecedented move by Chief Justice (CJ) Maruping Dibotelo to report four of his colleagues to the police for investigation, 12 judges have written to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to start impeachment proceedings against him.

Dibotelo had asked the police to investigate justices, Key Dingake, Modiri Letsididi, Mercy Garekwe and Ranier Busang for receiving a housing allowance despite being accommodated in official residences. Judges are provided with free furnished residential accommodation or housing allowance of P6,545.45 per month where there is no official residence provided. The allowance is paid only to those without such privilege.
