NPA VINDICATED BY THALES DISMISSAL JUDGMENT

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomes the judgment delivered today by Chili J, wherein he dismissed the application of permanent stay by accused 1, Thales. We hope that this paves the way for the resumption of the protracted trial which has been plagued by many interlocutory applications that had the undesirable effect of delaying the trial.

The NPA feels vindicated by the dismissal as we held the view that the application had no merit in view of the matters having been previously pronounced upon by the same court.
