of the lands allocations committee. The list of
allottees were made by the registry and taken
to me and I will now take it to the land
allocation Committee. The Registry makes the
list on my instructions.”
As I said earlier, I have watched closely the demeanour of DW6
while answering questions in the witness box. He was not
consistent with his testimony and he appears too economical
with the truth. DW6 is not a witness of truth.
Firstly, DW6 under cross examination by the prosecution when
shown exhibit 15, states:“I can see exhibit 15. Exhibit 15 is a replacement and
PAX Education is not the first allottee.”
On the otherhand, under further cross examination by the
prosecuting Counsel, DW6 avers:“I can see exhibit 11 (a). In my statement it is
correct that where there is double allocation,
the Applicant that got the title deed plan first
would be left in the plot and the other given a
replacement.”
By the evidence of DW6 under cross examination above, DW6
admitted himself that the allocation to PAX Education was not
the first. Secondly, DW6 by his evidence, Plot SS1 Jikwoyi
Extension III cannot be allocated to PAX Education Resource
because the Plot had already been charted in favour of Fine
Trust Academy.
The question that begs for an answer is that with all the
avalanche of evidence by PWS1,2,3,4 and the admission of
DW6 including exhibits 4,5,6,6(a) 7,7(a),7(b),15,18, 22 and
the statement of the 2nd Defendant, exhibit 11 (a) why did the
2nd Defendant failed in his statutory duties to do the right thing
but instead signed a fresh allocation letter, exhibit 5 (a) to PAX
Education Resource?
The answer appears not farfetched. From the evidence of DW6
and his statement, exhibit 11 (a) it is not in doubt that the 1st
Defendant worked under the 2nd Defendant and served as
