Tendai Biti the leader of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) says the troubled Prosecutor General Johannes Tomana should be jailed for refusing to prosecute Zanu PF activists who murdered over 200 opposition supporters in the run up to the bloody 27 June 2008 Presidential runoff election.
According to the MDC over 200 of their supporters were maimed by known Zanu PF activists and security agents.
The party also claimed that thousands more were displaced as a result of the terror which was unleashed on them by President Robert Mugabe’s militia.
The then security chief in the MDC-T Kisimusi Dhlamini compiled a dossier of such victims and names of perpetrators which he presented to the police but was instead arrested.
Last week Tomana was sentenced to 30 day in prison for refusing to release prosecution certificates for Munyaradzi Kereke a Zanu PF MP who is facing charges of raping a minor girl.
He was given the same sentence for also refusing the prosecution of former Telecel chairperson and Jane Mutasa who defraud the telecommunications company $1, 7 million in airtime vouchers.
On Wednesday the state media reported that Tomana was also in trouble for causing the acquittal of Charles Nherera, the former Zupco board chairperson after he was convicted and sentenced for two years.
Tomana and Nherera had worked together at the state enterprise where the he (Tomana) was the company’s legal advisor before the latter committed the crime.
In a statement Wednesday Biti said Tomana must be pressed to compile dockets for the June 2008 political violence perpetrators.
“Tomana refused to act on evidence produced by victims of that year’s political violence, to investigate and compel the police to open criminal dockets to claims the victims made of kidnappings, assault, injuries that were perpetrated by known state security agents and the Zanu PF militia ,”said Biti.
