Friday, September 18, 2009

Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) secretary general, Gomolemo Motswaledi plans to approach the Court of Appeal in Lobatse today in a bid to reverse a High Court decision dismissing his application for the suspension slapped on him by President Ian Khama.

Last Friday the Chief Justice Julian Nganunu, Justice Isaac Lesetedi and Justice Ian Kirby dismissed with costs Motswledi's application citing Section 41 of the Constitution that protects a President from court proceedings.

Advocate Sidney Pilane confirmed to Mmegi yesterday that his clients have met and issued instructions that the decision of the High Court should be appealed. Pilane said they are busy finalising papers and they will file an appeal today.
