Former gov�t employee challenges P1.9m order

A former government employee, David William, who was charged with 38 counts of stealing by a person employed in the public service and ordered to pay back money amounting to P1.9million has challenged the magistrate court’s decision.

William, who was charged in 2014, says the magistrate court that presided over his case had no jurisdiction to entertain the matter.

He is challenging for a stay of execution pending an order issued against him by Broadhurst Principal Magistrate, Munashe Ndlovu on November 9, 2015 to pay back the money.
