Hon. Elton MangomaHon. Mangoma who is facing trumped up charges of abusing a public office was committed at the Harare Remand Prison. He was indicted for trial at the High Court on 28 March.
The State was opposing bail alleging that Hon. Mangoma was a flight risk and would interfer with State witnesses. However, Justice Kudya dismissed the States claims saying the State had no tangible facts to warrant Hon. Mangomas conviction. The judge added the State had scant facts against Hon. Mangoma.
The judge said the actions of Hon. Mnagoma in assisting in the procurement of fuel were a response to a national crisis and the people of Zimbabwe were looking up to him for resolve the crisis. The States case will be an uphill battle to convince the court. The case against the applicant cannot be said to be strong, said the judge.
Hon. Mangoma was ordered to report once a week at Malborough Police Station and to surrender his passport.
