EMBATTLED Mutare town clerk Joshua Maligwa is alleged to have offered residential stands to the police to seek protection ahead of investigations into an alleged massive land scandal at the local authority.
In a leaked document, Maligwa and councillors, who are facing serious corruption allegations resolved to offer the land to a number of senior police officers, a move that has been viewed by observers as meant to buy his protection.
A source at Mutare Central Police Station told NewsDay this week that they were investigating a case where Maligwa is an accused.
“I just believe that the offer of land to police is a way of seeking protection against arrest.”
This comes after an outcry over the alleged allocation of a residential stand to Media, Information and Broadcasting Services secretary Ndavaningi Mangwana in Mutare.
