MDC ALLIANCE has accused Norton MP Temba Mliswa of indecent assault on party legislator Memory Mbondiah after the opposition lawmakers were Monday involved in a scuffle which saw the abandonment of a Public Accounts Committee meeting which was hosting businessman Wicknell Chivhayo’s Intratrek.
Mliswa, on his part is also pressing theft charges against Mbondiah whom he accuses of stealing his bag, two phones and US$3 000 in cash.
The committee meeting had been called to enquire into contracts awarded to the firms by power utility, ZESA Holdings on the Gwanda Solar and Prepaid Metre Projects respectively.
The abortive deal in which Chivhayo’s company had been advanced US$5 million by ZESA to kick-start the project but failed, is before the courts after the power utility brought the action against the firm.
