Attorney's pension 'frozen' pending outcome of graft investigation.

The office allegedly settled a case involving a person who claimed damages from the minister of police after being shot during a hijacking. The settlement was allegedly made without the knowledge of the government.

Lekabe’s lawyer, advocate Desmond Brown, said: “It is simply untrue that there was money lost. It’s completely misleading as the money was never paid out. They [SIU] do not provide proof. In order for them to get that order they have to cross certain hurdles.”“This is not frivolous spending,” he said.

“The pension benefit is the only security that is of any substance to the applicant. It is only a preservation order. It’s an interdict. This might be the only security. We have no further available alternative.
