KARIBA Municipality town clerk Richard Kamhoti (60) and finance director Saratiere Chitenhe (57), who are facing criminal abuse of office charges over alleged an irregular car purchase deal, were Thursday granted $50 000 bail each.
The vehicles were purchased eight years ago in 2013.
Provincial Magistrate Ruth Moyo also ordered the pair to surrender their passports, title deeds to their houses and report at Kariba Police Station three times a week.
Further, accused persons were barred from visiting Kariba Municipality offices until finalisation of the matter.
The bail conditions were set out following the state’s opposition alleging
Kamhoti and Chitenhe were likely to meddle with witnesses, alter or conceal evidential council documents or skip the country’s borders to avoid standing trial.
