The long-anticipated trial of the Clerk of Parliament Kennedy Chokuda, who is facing two counts of criminal abuse of duty involving the overpriced laptops which torched an outcry in 2022 has been set down for September.
Chokuda and his alleged accomplice, director of procurement Stanley Bhebhe appeared before magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa on Monday and were advised of their trial dates which are 2-4 September.
The brief allegations are that in 2022, the Parliament of Zimbabwe flighted an advert inviting bidders for the supply and delivery of 173 laptops and 79 desktops.
92 companies showed interest, however they were later reduced to 30 after some were disqualified for different reasons.
