Court to review Defence Secretary’s suspension

This comes after Leave for judicial review was allowed by the court on Thursday by Justice Leka Nablu.

Justice Nablu in allowing Asi’s suspension to undergo review of the court was of the view that he had an arguable case.

She said the review of such cases involving public servants suspended should be expedited because public servants are being suspended for long periods on pay while waiting for investigations to be completed.

Justice Nablu issued orders for Secretary Asi’s lawyers to file the review books within 14 days before a hearing can take place next month.
