Former public prosecutions boss Philip Murgor yesterday failed to stop the Government from revoking his passport and firearms certificate.
High Court judge Roselyne Wendoh also declined to stop the police from arresting and prosecuting Mr Murgor in connection with the Goldenberg scandal. But she ordered that a case filed by Mr Murgor against five senior Government officials be heard on Monday.
The former DPP claims the move to take away his passport was intended to stop him from travelling to the United Kingdom to meet former permanent secretary John Githongo.
He had recently been in touch with Mr Githongo and was to accompany the Public Accounts Committee to London to record his evidence on the Anglo Leasing scandal, the court heard.
“I intend to travel soon and this, known to the security apparatus, is the primary reason why the Narc administration would like to restrict my movements out of the country on any pretext,” he told the court through lawyer Cecil Miller.
