Former Executive Director of the Bureau of Women’s Affairs, Faith Webster, has been granted leave by the Supreme Court, to challenge the decision of the Public Service Commission (PSC) to bring charges against her.
Justice Bryan Sykes granted leave on Friday following an application by Webster’s attorney, Douglas Leys.
Webster was interdicted three weeks ago by the PSC, following an internal audit which accused her of failing to perform her duties.
The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) recommended that disciplinary action be laid against her following the internal audit.
Thirteen charges have been laid against her by the Commission.She has now applied to the Supreme Court to quash the charges.
Sykes also granted her a stay, blocking the PSC from taking any further disciplinary action against her, until the challenge is heard by the Full Court.
