adminAlexander Musinyari (62), who is employed by Battery Express, is accused of collecting payments from the company’s clients and pocketing the money.
He allegedly converted US$20 955 to his personal use.

He was granted US$200 bail and ordered to surrender his passport and to report once a week to po- lice.
He was remanded to December 13.
Battery Express sells batteries on cash or credit.
According to the State, in situations where batteries were sold on credit, it was Musinyari’s responsibility to collect the money on behalf of the company.
Prosecutor Ms Joyce Sithole alleged that between November last year and January this year and on different occasions, Musinyari received US$20 955 from company clients, who had taken batteries on credit.
Musinyari was supposed to remit the money to the company.
Instead of remitting all the money to the company, Musinyari allegedly converted some of the money to his own use.
The company later discovered the offence and reported the matter to the police leading to Musinyari’s arrest.
Nothing was recovered.
