Eastern Highlands Governor Julie Soso case 2016

Soso’s penalty to be known today

The Supreme Court is expected to make its penalty known today after Govenor Soso was found guilty of contempt on June 28.

She appeared with her lawyer on Monday this week and asked the court to give her a penalty fine of between K10,000-K15,000 for her actions.

She apologised to the court and said her actions were unintentional as she was unaware of the Supreme Court order of Feb 15, which reinstated Provincial Administrator Solomon Tato, before signing a letter for him to step down from the PA post the next day.
