Zanu PF legislator for Bindura South Remigious Toendepi
Mutangira has been dragged to court by a fertilizer and chemical manufacturing
firm which is seeking over $18 063 for services rendered to him almost two
years ago.
The Zimbabwe Fertiliser Company (ZFC) Limited issued
summons against the MP on May 3, 2019 and the legislator is yet to enter his
appearance to defend.
“In May 2017 plaintiff (ZFC) and defendant (Mutangira)
entered into a written agreement in terms of which the defendant purchased from
plaintiff fertilizer and chemicals
and it was agreed that the defendant would pay within 180
days,” the firm said in its declaration.
The firm further said, in terms of the agreement between
the parties, it sold and delivered fertilizer and chemicals costing $28 081,18
and the MP only paid $10 017,87
leaving a balance of $18 063,31.
“It was further agreed between the plaintiff and defendant
that in the event of legal proceedings being instituted against the defendant
collection commission will be paid
in terms of the Law Society by laws and all costs would be
met by the defendant as at between attorney and client and interest will be
paid at the rate of 5% per month in the event of a default,” ZFC Limited said.
The matter is pending. Newsday
