Tomana to apply for refusal of further remand

Suspended Prosecutor-General Johannes Tomana, who is facing charges of criminal abuse of office, is today expected to apply for refusal of further remand if his trial fails to commence. His trial was supposed to start on August 29 but was postponed to today after the State notified the court that it had not given the defence relevant papers on time to prepare its defence outline.

Through his lawyer Mr Tazorora Musarurwa, Tomana notified the court that he will apply for refusal of further remand if trial fails take place today. Tomana is facing trial for criminal abuse of office after he allegedly dropped charges against suspects accused of attempting to bomb Gushungo Dairy.
