The State has served incarcerated former Bikita West legislator Munyaradzi Kereke and suspended Harare Municipal Medical
Aid Society (HMMAS) chief executive officer Everisto Rukasha with court papers for them to prepare for their trial scheduled
for November 11 to 15.
The two are facing fraud charges involving $400 000.
It is the State’s case that sometime in 2014, Rukasha and Kereke signed an agreement where the latter would sell his Fortress
Hospital to HMMAS.
Kereke allegedly appointed Health Body Images managing director Newton Madzika to do the transaction on his behalf.
On November 7, 2014, HMMAS met its obligation by paying the full purchase price of US$400 000.
On March 18, 2022, Kereke connived with Rukasha and wrote to HMMAS misrepresenting that the latter still owed him
US$400 000.
Appearing for the State is Mr Lancelot Mutsokoti.
