MBABANE: The widely reported police protest in demand for a salary increment has been stopped by the court.
This comes after the office of the National Commissioner of Police through the Attorney General(AG)moved an urgent application on Monday night to interdict police officers and warders from marching to the office of Prime Minister Cleopas Dlamini.
The officers were expected to collect responses from the PM after delivering a petition last week in demand for a salary increment.
“Interdicting the Respondents staff associations members or anyone acting at the behest of the said staff association from engaging in any form of a march or strike action on the 18 October or any other future date,” reads the court order in part.
On another note, it has been disclosed that a team of junior police officer has been commanded to assault their colleagues who would march to the Prime Minister’s Office against the court order.
