Jailed Kereke Petitions PG To Remove Pvt Prosecutor In His Cases
Former Bikita West legislator, Munyaradzi Kereke, who is currently in prison has petitioned Prosecutor General (PG), Kumbirai Hodzi, to immediately remove Mr Charles Warara as the private prosecutor in his cases. He argues that Warara’s continuation in the matters defeats the course of justice.
Kereke who was convicted of sexual abuse and sentenced to ten years in prison is arguing that he is innocent and his arrest, sentence and conviction were politically motivated. He is appealing at the Supreme court and is also applying for bail.
He has also petitioned the Judicial Services Commission, Chief Justice Luke Malaba. Kereke argues that Warara must be removed because:
- Warara is a suspect for alleged sexual abuse of the same complainants whom he purports to fight for. Kereke attached a letter of complaint against Warara to the Law Society written on 22 August 2012 by the minor children’s maternal grandparents in which they were accusing him of abusing the minors.
- Warara allegedly influenced the High Court decision after he, in a letter, reportedly informed the court to deny him bail because he belonged to the Lacoste political faction.
- Warara misled the High Court that the new administration and the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) had illegally reduced his prison sentence by 49 months and declassified him from a dangerous prisoner to a ‘C’ class prisoner. Resultantly, the Zimbabwe Republic Police opened a case in respect of these falsehoods while the ZPCS dismissed the lies.
- Warara further lied that the ZPCS had illegally transferred him to an open prison and he was seeing him at home out of prison.
