The President of the Court of Appeal , Justice Monica Dongban-mensem, on Monday warned that the court would not hesitate to sack any staff found to be compromising processes of petitions against the forthcoming general election.
While stating that the tribunals were established for the purposes of determining disputes arising from the conduct of elections into various elective positions, she urged staff of the tribunals to live above board and avoid anything that could bring the activities of the court to questioning or disrepute.
She equally harped on the need for the members to constantly relate with the Election Petition Tribunal Unit at the headquarters at intervals and report matters likely to forestall breaches in communication. “Let me once again mention that the work ahead is enormous and you must indeed brace up for the challenges ahead,” she said.
