High Court denies HCC executives bail

THE High Court has dismissed the bail application filed by three City of Harare executives, who are accused of criminal abuse of office after they allegedly awarded Juluka Enndo Joint Venture a tender to refurbish street lights in Harare.

Jabulani Mukomanzi, Denford Zhungu and Tawanda Mutenhabundo had their bail application denied by High Court judge Justice Benjamin Chikowero.

The trio was part of the City of Harare tender evaluation committee and allegedly unprocedurally awarded a tender to Juluka Enndo in breach of procurement provisions which required going through a competitive bidding process.
