Suspended Prosecutor-General, Mr Johannes Tomana, was yesterday fired for misconduct and incompetence after a tribunal set by President Mugabe to probe him recommended  his dismissal.

Permanent Secretary for Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Mrs Virginia Mabhiza announced in a General Notice 292 of 2017 published in the Government Gazette yesterday that President Mugabe had acted on the tribunal’s recommendations.

The decision by President Mugabe came after a disciplinary tribunal chaired by Retired High Court judge, Justice Moses Chinhengo, found Mr Tomana unsuitable to continue holding the esteemed office. Other members of the tribunal were University of Zimbabwe law lecturer Mr Emmanuel Magade and lawyer Ms Melania Matshiya.

Mr Tomana was last year suspended to allow the tribunal to hear and determine a litany of allegations against him, chief among them being a flagrant defiance of legitimate court orders.

The tribunal found him guilty before recommending his removal from office.
