Suspended Registrar-General Clemence Masango today lost his
bid to have his bail conditions varied after the court noted that there were no
changed circumstances from the day he was granted bail.
Harare regional magistrate Mr Trinos Utahwashe noted that
Masango’s application had no merits. Masango wanted to be allowed to travel to
his farm to monitor operations saying agriculture was his only source of income
after being suspended without pay and allowances.
Masango was recently suspended by the Public Service
Commission (PSC) pending trial on two counts of criminal abuse of office as a
public officer.
The charges arose after he allegedly instructed the Central
Mechanical and Equipment Department (CMED) to buy a double cab and six single
cab trucks without Cabinet approval, before using the vehicles at his farm.
He return to court on August 7 for routine remand. Herald
