Govt security for 141 NASA MPs reinstated

Govt security for 141 NASA MPs reinstated

High Court judge Roselyn Aburili has temporarily suspended the government decision to withdraw the security and revoke firearm licences for 141 opposition legislators.

Justice Aburili on Tuesday directed the security details of the National Super Alliance parliamentarians be restored until a case they have filed in court is heard and determined.

The 141 legislators, through advocate George Miyare, moved to court on Monday questioning the legal foundation of the move by the Inspector General of Police and the Firearms Licencing Board to withdraw their security and revoke their firearm licences.

In the court documents, they say their security officers only received verbal communication on January 30, to report back to their working stations without further explanation.

The NASA MPs termed the move as ill motivated and meant to expose them to insecurity and disfranchise their services to the people who elected them.

The case will be mentioned on February 19, 2018 to confirm government compliance and further directions issued.
