Namah case 2016

Court: CJ was able act in his powers

A three-judge Supreme Court bench found that there was no conflict of interest and no reasonable apprehension of bias when he appointed members of the tribunal to investigate the allegations of misconduct in office.

Namah’s lawyer Greg Sheppard had earlier argued in court that Sir Salamo, in appointing a leadership tribunal against Namah, was unlawful as the Chief Justice was involved in the referral as well as one of the 10 allegations against Namah.
