The State is opposing bail for Harare City Town Clerk Hosiah Chisango and the city’s principal contracts administrator Artwell Mandaza who are now spending this weekend in jail.
Bail ruling was deferred to Tuesday next week. The State is
saying the pair are a flight risk and are likely to interfere with witnesses.
“The first accused person is the accounting officer for the
City of Harare and is a principal to our witnesses,” said investigating
officer, Owen Mutembwa.
He also said Chisango attempted to conceal some of the
tender documents.
Mutembwa said the pair were not proper candidates for bail
and their release was likely to disturb public order.
