Businessman Hugh Glenister is to seek an urgent interdict to bar Travelgate MPs from debating the future of the Scorpions, his spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

Glenister is currently waiting the outcome of a Constitutional Court hearing on his challenge to government plans to disband the unit.

His attorney sent a letter to National Assembly Speaker, Baleka Mbete, on August 14 asking that MPs who had been investigated by the Scorpions in the Travelgate matter recuse themselves from consideration of the two bills that seek to shut down the unit.

A second letter was sent last week, demanding a reply by August 22, failing which Glenister would institute an urgent application to interdict those MPs.

Glenister's spokeswoman Dani Cohen said on Tuesday that no reply had been received.

"Consequently, the papers are currently being prepared," she said.
