The Zinbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested Gerald Tuhwe, an Agritex supervisor for Mazowe District, on criminal
abuse of duty charges.
Tuhwe allegedly misrepresented facts to the Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (ARDA), that Kenro
Marangwanda had a thriving maize crop on 65 hectares of land, yet he had only planted 30 hectares.
Acting on the misrepresentation, ARDA issued fertiliser for 65 hectares to Marangwanda. As an Agritex Supervisor, Tuhwe was
responsible for farmer verification and recommendation upon verification of land access, hectarage, and status of the irrigation
scheme.
The accused appeared at Concession Magistrate court and was remanded out of custody to October 22, 2024, on US$200 bail.
