Mike Chimombe yesterday appeared at Harare Magistrates
Courts for bail ruling, but returned to remand prison after the matter was
postponed.
Newsday reports that Harare magistrate Stanford Mambanje, who is presiding over
the case of Chimombe and his co-accused Moses Mpofu, indicated that the ruling
was not yet ready.
In the bail application, Chimombe indicated that he was
being victimised by people with a political agenda after being implicated in a
US$9,2 million tender scandal for installation of streetlights in the capital.
Chimombe argued that he was not in any way associated to
Juluka Projects and Plant Hire (Pvt) Ltd.
Mpofu denied submitting a bid document which contained
false statements as alleged.
The matter was postponed to tomorrow for bail ruling.
