Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story programme on Thursday, November 4, 2021; he stressed that the Police were waiting for the November 8 date that the court had scheduled for the first hearing into the case.

“On the 8th of November, we will all meet at the very court and should he honour that, the police will come up properly with what they have and what he also has to tell the court, we will meet at the court.

“And we cannot and we cannot predict, but our stand is that we have taken the matter to the court and here we are, all parties will submit themselves to the court.”



Asked about whether the MP had been served summons to that effect, he answered in the affirmative but did not state through which avenue specifically: “All legal procedures have been fulfilled, he has been served.” An interested party can be served, “by service either at your house, your relation or his workplace,” he added.
