5. The Presiding Officer postponed the misconduct inquiry to 8 April 2011. He requested that both parties address him on whether he should postpone the misconduct inquiry indefinitely, pending the finalisation of the criminal case against Mr. Rambau. Mr. Rambau instructed an attorney to represent him in the misconduct inquiry. On 8 April 2011, Mr. Rambau applied for the proceedings to be postponed without his attorney being present. It was placed on record that Mr. Rambau did not instruct his attorney to represent him at the inquiry. He however indicated that he instructed counsel to represent him. He further indicated that he wanted to be furnished with further particulars in respect of the misconduct charge against him. The Presiding Officer granted his request for a postponement, provided that Mr Rambau's counsel should appear before him on the remand date and that he should formally request the Commission to be furnished with further particulars in writing.
