<vote /> Bikita West legislator, Munyaradzi Kereke, is expected to know his fate on the 11th of July.

The ZANU-PF parliamentarian is accused of raping his 10-year-old niece at gun point in 2010 as well as fondling and kissing his other 15-year-old niece.

Kereke has denied both charges accusing his former boss, former Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor Gideon Gono, of fabricating cases against him after he exposed his multi-million corruption deals at the central bank.

He also implicated former minister Webster Shamu, saying he told him he knew who crafted the rape allegations against him and he alleges the ex-minister even extorted money from him so that he would disclose his enemy.

Private prosecutor Charles Warara yesterday told the court he would tender his closing submissions on June 22 and the defence would submit the same on July 1 with the ruling set to be delivered a week later.
