REGISTRAR-GENERAL Clement Masango, who was arrested on
Wednesday for criminal abuse of office, spent another night in custody as the
Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) was still recording statements.
Masango, according to ZACC, is accused of flouting tender
procedures in procuring five Government vehicles.
He is also accused of taking seven other Government
vehicles to his farm. ZACC spokesperson Commissioner John Makamure said Masango
was expected to appear in court today.
“He will appear in court tomorrow (today) in the morning.
Today we needed to record statements from other witnesses,” Comm Makamure said.
Comm Makamure said Masango was facing two counts of
criminal abuse of office. He said the Registrar-General is accused of procuring
five vehicles without following laid down tender procedures and also faces
another count of taking seven Government vehicles to his farm.
Last week, Masango clashed with the chief accountant in his
office, Mr Peter Bwanya, who accused him of abuse of office.
Masango denied all wrongdoing, saying Mr Bwanya was
fighting disciplinary action over alleged incompetence and misbehaviour.
Mr Bwanya levelled a number of allegations, mainly involving
the purchase or non-purchase of vehicles, which Masango responded to point by
point, while criticising ZACC for launching an investigation before seeking an
audit report on the allegations. Herald
