The horrific murder story on the front page of this weeks issue is a clear illustration of how Zanu (PF) has tragically perverted the course of justice in our country. A well-known Zanu (PF) official has ordered the murder of a 16-year-old boy and his henchmen have carried it out in the most gruesome fashion. The boys crime was to demand wages for the work he had done for the officiaAlthough the police moved swiftly and most uncharacteristically to apprehend the suspects, we understand they have now been released, on the instructions of Didymus Mutasa, Zanu (PF) secretary for administration.
Even more alarmingly, the attorney generals office has simply turned a blind eye to this miscarriage of justice. Yet we remember how quick the AG was to invoke the all-powerful legislation at his command to refuse bail to the deputy minister who had been arrested on a trumped-up charge of stealing a cell phone from war veterans leader Joseph Chinotimba. The charge has since been withdrawn and no evidence whatsoever has emerged to substantiate the allegation.
Yet here we have a brutal murder case and named suspects. And nothing is done about it. How utterly appalling.
If ever any evidence was needed to substantiate calls for the removal of attorney general Johannes Tomana for his blatant bias and abrogation of his constitutional duty here it is.
Tomana must go.
