NewsDay reports that, the Justice Moses Chinhengo-led tribunal, which was tasked to probe suspended Prosecutor-General Johannes Tomana’s suitability to continue holding office, is set to complete its hearings tomorrow.
The tribunal comprises of Chinhengo, University of Zimbabwe law lecturer, Emmanuel Magade and lawyer, Melania Matshiya as members. The tribunal began its work on July 25 last year and was supposed to have concluded its work within three months. Speaking to NewsDay, Tomana’s lawyer, Tazorora Musarurwa confirmed that the hearing would end this week.
In terms of the law, the tribunal is expected to submit a report of its findings to Mugabe and if found guilty, Tomana will automatically be relieved of his duties. Tomana is facing charges of defying court orders and criminal abuse of office after he withdrew charges against two military intelligence officers, who were allegedly caught in a foiled attempt to bomb the Gushungo Dairy plant last January.
