//Karas CRO suspended

The //Karas regional council’s chief regional officer (CRO), Beatus Kasete, has been suspended from his position.

Chairperson of the council’s management committee, Joseph Isaaks, on Thursday responded to Nampa that he could only confirm the suspension but not go into detail.

Isaaks said the decision to suspend the CRO was a resolution taken by the council during a special council meeting that took place last week.

“At this moment, I cannot go into detail as I have not given a written letter to the CRO yet, and if I give him the written letter pertaining the reasons why he is suspended, it will be made public. I will do injustice to him if I go into the details of his suspension while he is not aware of those reasons. The suspension is for four months or it can be less than that,” Isaaks said.

Kasete on Thursday said: “I was informed verbally that I am suspended but I have not received a letter of suspension yet. I can confirm that I am suspended as of 25 June and I cannot say until when it is. When I get the letter, I will know.”
