Her deputy Eunice Nomthandazo Moyo quoted by the state broadsheet media has rubbished the stories which she said are being peddled by sections of the private media. What we want this year is to have the constitution corrected so that when the time to elect leaders comes at congress in one of the VPs will be a woman. This has to be clear so that we are protected by the constitution as women. We always work and go with the First Lady and at no point has she declared an ambition for any higher post.
In fact, she has said she is content where she is. People should stop giving her a position she has not asked for. However, Tomana yesterday filed an urgent chamber application seeking an interim order staying the process for his possible removal from office. Kereke was accused of raping an year-old relative, while Mutasa was facing charges of swindling the company of airtime recharge cards worth millions of dollars.
The sentence was, however, wholly set-aside on condition that he complied with the court orders and issue private prosecution certificates to Mr Francis Maramwidze and Telecel, within 10 days, failure which he would be barred from practising as a lawyer in Zimbabwe. The following month, Tomana was again at the centre of another storm for allegedly abusing the court process to rubber-stamp the acquittal of former Zupco board chairman, Professor Charles Nherera, who was charged with corruption.
The abuse reportedly occurred at the time when Tomana was the Attorney General. It emerged yesterday that the JSC has taken steps towards removing him from office, when it wrote to him about his unsuitability to continue holding the office of Prosecutor-General. Attached to the letter were two judgments one from the Constitutional Court and the other from the High Court.
On Tuesday Chief Justice Chidyausiku wrote again to Tomana explaining what he meant in his first letter. He explained that the Constitutional Court had found as a fact that he disobeyed orders of the court. The Constitution Court considered your failure to obey these court orders constituted a violation of Section 1 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe and imposed on you what it considered appropriate punishment for such transgression.
