In the ongoing Fishrot trial, Acting Judge Moses Chinhengo has maintained that he will continue presiding over the case, as his appointment, an executive decision, remains valid unless overturned by a court of law. 

Judge Moses Chinhengo has ordered that the criminal trial in the Fishrot matter continue.

The accused persons will continue to take pleas on the remaining charges from September 2 to 6 and 10 to 13.

Fishrot accused Nigel Van Wyk will hear tomorrow if Judge Moses Chinhengo will recuse himself from presiding over the largest corruption scandal Namibia has seen.

Van Wyk, through his lawyer Mbanga Siyumunji, applied for the recusal of Chinhengo, citing bias and fear of not receiving a fair trial.

The High Court in Windhoek is set to hear arguments on Friday regarding the recusal of Zimbabwean Judge Moses Chinhengo from the ongoing Fishrot trial. 

Nigel van Wyk, a key figure in the scandal, is seeking the judge's recusal, alleging bias and fears of not receiving a fair trial.

The ongoing Fishrot trial has been suspended again after defence lawyer Mbanga Siyomunji filed a recusal motion against Judge Moses Chinhengo.

Siyomunji's client, Nigel Van Wyk, accuses Chinhengo of bias in his application, saying that he fears an unfair trial with Chinhengo on the bench.
