THE High Court in Suva is set to hear former deputy prime minister and trade minister Manoa Kamikamica’s bid to permanently halt his criminal proceedings in the lower court next Wednesday.

Mr Kamikamica faces a count of perjury for allegedly knowingly making a false statement under oath, claiming he had nothing to do with the appointment of FICAC commissioner Barbra Malimali.

He also faces a charge of giving false information to a public servant for allegedly providing the same false information to a Commissioner of Inquiry (COI) between December 1 last year and March 31 this year.

His bail was extended and the case adjourned to January 29.
