Justice Leatile Dambe of the Court of Appeal was left puzzled by former president Ian Khama’s urgent hearing application saying the matter should have not been before court in the first place.

Justice Dambe said it was baffling how Khama’s attorneys would want to pursue an application knowing well it was incompetent. The words from the judge come in the wake of Khama’s recent application in which he approached the CoA seeking an urgent hearing for the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS)’s appeal in relation to his State House No.4 access case. Khama, who has not been able to gain access to his residence because the DIS has filed an appeal against the judgment that gave him access to his house, wanted the appeal to be heard urgently.

The judge did not agree with Khama’s request pointing out that from the onset the application was incompetent because it was not found on any law or practice. “The application is incompetent and it baffles my mind how this could have escaped the minds of senior attorneys when they decided to litigate on this matter,” she said.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
