Former ERB Boss Sues ACC Over Car

FORMER Energy Regulation Board (ERB) executive director Butler Sitali has sued the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) demanding the court to release his vehicle which the commission seized when he was arrested on corruption charges.
This is according to ex parte summons for leave to apply for judicial review of the decision of the ACC to seize his motor vehicle.
Mr Sitali contends in an affidavit in support of the ex parte summons for leave for judicial review that the seizure of his vehicle was illegal, unlawful and the continued detention of his vehicle is unjustified.
He also argues that the ACC has no authority and did not follow procedure when it seized his vehicle as its officers who apprehended him did not produce any warrant as required by the law.
Mr Sitali added that the seizure of his vehicle was by the order of the ERB whom he sued for unlawful termination of employment, adding that his former employers were not happy with him for representing a mining company in a case against them.
He has asked the court to order the grant of leave to operate as a stay of the ACC’s decision to seize and detain his vehicle provided that he produces it in any court proceedings.
Mr Sitali said the ACC has not taken his matter involving ERB documents that he is alleged to have acquired illegally to court for six months now.
