Hela petition

Court to decide if Hela petitions will survive

Justice Ellenas Batari, over the last two days, heard submissions over objections challenging the competency of the two petitions that Francis Potape and Dr Hewali Hemia filed.

After lengthy submissions today, he reserved his ruling to next week.

If the petitions survive, the matters will proceed to the next stage, which will see evidence being called by the petitioners in separate hearings.
