APNU+AFC urges swift hearings by Court of Appeal over Top Cop, commissions

Having filed its appeals challenging the President’s appointment of the acting Commissioner of Police and chairpersons of the Police Service and Integrity Commissions, the Opposition APNU+AFC is already calling on the Court of Appeal for swift hearings in both matters.

Filed just under a month ago and four days ago respectively, the opposition coalition has advanced that the issues to be resolved in the appeals “are of great urgency and public importance.”

Through notices of motion, the Opposition argues that the purport and impact of the Chief Justice’s decisions in both matters, amount to “grave and fundamental misconstruction” of constitutional principles.
