The stay order by Justice Kaba (left) was necessitated by a complaint filed him by Singbeh’s legal team. Associate Justice Yussif Kaba, presiding in the Chamber of the Supreme Court on Monday, October 14, 2019 mandated courts throughout the country to stay from further proceedings into corruption cases that involved the embattled Senate Secretary, Nanborlor Singbeh.
Justice Kaba’s mandate comes in the wake of more corruption cases filed against Singbeh by Hans Armstrong, a British national and the Attorney-In-Fact of two Czech brothers, Martin and Pavel Miloschewsky, who hold 70 percent share in MHM Eko-Liberia Incorporated.
MHM Eko-Liberia is a Czech Republic rock crushing company that was situated in Seekie-Ta, Weala Township in Margibi County.
Singbeh is the president and chairman of the board of directors of the MHM Eko-Liberia Inc., where he also holds a 30 percent share.
Kaba’s mandate ordering courts throughout the country, some of which are trying Singbeh for corruption and other related charges, called on authorities at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to stop all proceedings pending the outcome of a conference with judges of those courts, including Armstrong, who has earlier filed the cases against Singbeh to appear on Monday, October 21, 2019 at 2:30 p.m.
It comes as the Kakata Magisterial Court was expected to deliver its ruling on Wednesday, October 16, 2019 as to whether the US$800,000 bail secured by Sky Insurance Company that prevented Singbeh, and his two co-defendants from being incarcerated at the Kakata Central Prison, has a good financial standing to post the bond.
Prosecution has repeatedly argued that Sky Insurance lacks the financial capacity to secure the bail, and subsequently asked Magistrate Victoria Worlobah Duncan of the Kakata Magisterial Court to deny the bond, and go ahead to rearrest Singbeh and his cohorts.
Kaba’s order, dated October 14, 2019, copy of which is in the possession of the Daily Observer, instructed: “By directive of His Honor Yussif D. Kaba, an Associate Justice presiding in Chambers, you are hereby cited to a conference with His Honor on Monday, October 21, 2019 at the hour of 2:30 p.m. in connection with the above captioned case.”
It further directed: “You are hereby ordered to stay from further proceedings and or action in the matter out of which the above captioned case grew, pending the outcome of the conference.
Kaba’s action was necessitated by a complaint filed him by Singbeh’s legal team.
Singbeh is facing accountability charges at the Commercial Court […]
