Wheels of JusticeThe High Court will today issue further directions in a case in which a human rights group seeks to have the appointment of Ali Hassan Joho as CS for mining revoked and a fresh process commenced. Genesis for Human Rights Commission says the committee on appointments disregarded a number of memos allegedly containing evidence of Joho's unsuitability for appointment. However, the rights group says Joho ought not to have been cleared as he lacks the requisite academic qualifications to hold the office of cabinet secretary. Joho in response to the case has maintained that he is legally in office further denying dealings in drug trafficking. He has challenged the group to table evidence in court that he deals in drug trafficking.
