DRAX International representative Delish Nguwaya who landed in the dock two weeks ago on allegations of lying to the government in order to win a US$60 million coronavirus supplies procurement contract has approached the High Court appealing for bail.

His appeal comes after Harare magistrate, Vongai Muchuchuti denied him bail on condition he was facing a very serious offence.

The magistrate also ruled that Nguwaya could not be tried from home because allegations against him triggered so much criticism against the government.

The state alleged that he lied that his company was a drug manufacturing firm yet it was a “mere consulting company.”

He however denies the allegations saying paper work would prove that such allegations never occurred.
