Morupisi and wife jailed

Magistrate Lenah Mokibe this morning committed the corruption case of the suspended Permanent Secretary to the President (PSP) Carter Morupisi and wife Pinny Morupisi to the High Court for trial. The move effectively sent Morupisi and wife to jail.

The couple’s lawyer, Busang Manewe, has meanwhile moved swiftly to file for bail pending trial at the High Court, a hearing that will be heard today at 2:30pm before Justice Gabriel Komboni.

Unlike other accused, Morupisi and wife left the Broadhurst Magistrate Court in an air-conditioned sedan heading for prison.
