Former MDC Member of The House of Assembly for Chiredzi West Moses Mare has been arrested over failure to settle a furniture debt.
Mare who left the MDC’s early last year to join Tendai Biti’s PDP purchased a four piece Bali Lounge suit and a Univa stove on credit at a local shop in 2013 and has been defaulting on the monthly instalments such that the interest ballooned to $ 2815 .The court summons also indicate Mare has to pay an additional interest of 60% for defaulting on the instalments.
The former Tsvangirai frontman was also ordered to settle the amount in a period of seven days from December 18, according to summons seen by ZimEye.com.
Mare is now expected to appear in court since there are no indications he will settle the debt ,according to court records.
It has emerged former legislators who dumped Tsvangirai for Biti have fallen on hard times and some have been begging the former premier for a comeback while some are jostling for posts in Mujuru’s People First.
The embattled Mare who won resoundingly in the 2008 parliamentary contest for Chiredzi West reportedly approached the MDC leadership in Chiredzi seeking a comeback .
Mare also stands accused of blowing the Constituency Development Fund during his term as MP with the Chiredzi electorate blaming him for spending the money on luxury.
Millions of Zimbabweans have been taken for granted by politicians who canvass for support only to satisfy personal desires at the expense of the suffering people.
