No. *-vo'* involves motion away from something, even if that motion is 
just your line of sight. There is no motion or direction involved in 
being in your chair when you issue an order to put someone in prison. 
That happens /at/ your chair or /in/ your chair or /on/ your chair in 
Klingon, not /from/ your chair.
