The high court has temporarily barred acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i' from renewing NGO board boss Fazul Mahamed's tenure.
This will be until a petition by activist Okiya Omtata, saying Mahamed's tenure as the executive director of the board expired on
November 23 — or thereabouts, is heard and determined.
He says Matiang’i has not commenced the process of recruiting a replacement and
if the court does not intervene, an illegality will be committed.
