Judge takes dig at Praz

HIGH Court judge Justice Webster Chinamhora has castigated the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Praz) for disrespecting a court order by reviving a tender that was suspended in a case involving Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund (Zimdef) and a software company.

Pan-African software and technology firm Twenty Third Century Limited (TTCS) approached the High Court for a second time seeking a suspension of the procurement process.

The company argued that the restrictive contract clauses put forward by Praz went against a High Court judgment delivered in July.
