Kagonye was recently acquitted on two of the three counts
of fraud where she was accused of taking 20 computers from Postal and
Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) to her
constituency.
In acquitting Kagonye on the other counts, magistrate
Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro said the State had failed to prove a prima facie
case against her.
But the magistrate said she should be put to her defence on
a charge of taking Potraz computers.
The magistrate postponed the matter to April 19.
It is alleged that between June 2018 and July 2019, Kagonye
wrote to then Information, Communication Technology and Courier Services
minister Supa Mandiwanzira requesting computers to donate to schools in
Goromonzi South constituency.
Potraz donated the computers to Kagonye which were
allegedly collected by her brother Evans.
Potraz made a follow-up on the donation with Kagonye’s
brother and constituency officer but could not locate the computers, leading to
her arrest. Newsday
