Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Development Terrence Mukupe is set to appear at the High Court today after Trust Bank applied for him to be imprisoned over a $32 593 debt. The bank alleges that Mukupe defied a 2013 court order from High Court judge Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo compelling him to clear his debt. Part of the bank’s court papers read,
You (Mukupe), the defendant are called upon to pay to the plaintiff (Trust Bank)….the sum of $32 593, 57 with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annum from April 2, 2013, together with cost of suit on legal practitioner and client scale plus collection commission as calculated in accordance with the Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) by-laws due by the plaintiff by virtue of the High Court order dated December 18, 2013 under HC7937/13.
If you fail to pay the specified sum above you must appear before the High Court at Harare on Wednesday…..in motion the court to explain why you have not paid it and to show cause why an order for your imprisonment should not be made on account of your failure to pay.
