AG urges businessman to apply for Chombo’s arrest

ATTORNEY-GENERAL (AG), Prince Machaya, has urged Mutare businessman, Tendai Blessing Mangwiro, to seek Home Affairs minister Ignatius Chombo’s arrest for defying a court order by refusing to reimburse his $78 000 seized by the police in 2012.

Machaya’s counsel comes after Mangwiro’s efforts to attach government property hit a snag following the invocation of the State Liabilities Act.

In a joint heads of argument filed on Wednesday last week, Machaya said Mangwiro could pursue other alternatives of recovering his cash as opposed to seeking attachment of government property.
