Constitutional expert, Lovemore Madhuku told Daily News that Mugabe had violated the law by rescinding the appointment of Ray Goba as Zimbabwe’s Prosecutor General. Madhuku said, according to the constitution, Goba’s dismissal should have been only done via a Tribunal.
Said Madhuku:
It’s clearly contrary the Constitution. He (Mugabe) made the appointment and he cannot dismiss him the way he did. He did communicate his appointment to the public. He (Mugabe) must not be allowed to get away with this.
Goba told the Daily News on Friday, that he was considering his legal options. Goba was viewed as sympathetic to Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa who previously held dual roles as VP and Justice minister before President Robert Mugabe’s recent cabinet reshuffle.
