Convicted fraudster seeks to stop parliamentary processes aimed at removing him as Icasa chair | PolokoTau
but currently on bail pending an appeal of his sentencing, Mohlaloga has turned to the court in a bid to stop parliamentary process that would finalise his removal from Icasa.He argued in a founding affidavit signed on Thursday - which News24 has seen - that it would be too late to challenge a decision to fire him from Icasa once Parliament has decided he should be fired.that Mohlaloga"should be removed and also as a council member of Icasa".
He was sentenced in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court, alongside former acting head of the Land Bank Philemon Mohlahlane and attorney Dinga Rammy Nkwashu. News24 has seen a March 14 letter from Parliament's legal advisor, Fatima Ebrahim, in which it was confirmed to him that the committee had adopted a resolution to fire him, thus leaving it for the National Assembly to rubber stamp the decision before Communications Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams dismisses him.
He further argued that he was already in court over the same case he was convicted on when appointed at Icasa.
