Zec official denies conniving against Komichi

THE trial of MDC–T chief elections officer Morgan Komichi continued yesterday after his lawyer Alec Muchadehama explained to the court that he had failed to turn up for the hearing on Monday because he had other commitments at the High Court.

Prosecutor Michael Mugabe had complained to Harare magistrate Tendai Mahwe that Muchadehama’s conduct was unprofessional.

The trial — which was also attended by MDC-T chief whip Innocent Gonese and Dzivarasekwa MP Solomon Madzore — then continued with Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) deputy director of public relations Tendai Pamire giving evidence.
