Parirenyatwa accuses PG of malice

Former Health and Child Care minister, David Parirenyatwa has petitioned the High Court seeking permanent stay of prosecution on allegations that he abused his office, which he said were meant to persecute, and not to prosecute him.

The ex-minister accused acting Prosecutor-General (PG), Kumbirai Rwodzi of instrumenting his arrest with a view to embarrass him.

Last month, Parirenyatwa was arraigned at the Harare Magistrates’ Court and was released on $500 bail.
