NGOs Coordination Board chairman Fazul Mohammed has suffered a major blow after high court this morning dismissed a case he filed seeking to stop the implementation of the Ombudsman’s report on his academic documents.
Justice George Odunga said that to grant such orders would amount to a violation and rules of natural justice.
“Having consideed the issues herein, the inescapable conclusion that orders sought by the applicant in the instant application are incapable of being granted and I dismiss the application dated 14 November, 2016 with cost to respondent” ruled Odunga.
Odunga further ruled that the applicant –Fazul cannot by way of panel beating his pleadings seek through backdoor reliefs for which leave was never sought and granted.
Mr Fazul moved to court last year seeking the suspension of the investigative report.
The Ombudsman’s office was looking into allegations of forgery, falsification of academic documents and abuse of power against Mahamed.
So far Mahamed has dismissed the allegations as malicious, saying people affected by his attempt to clean up the NGOs are peddling rumours to tarnish his name.
