Stay of execution fails in P1.9M suit

The retired William was charged with 38 counts of stealing by a person employed in the public service and ordered to pay back the money following an order issued against him by Broadhurst Principal Magistrate, Munashe Ndlovu on November 9, 2015.

His main contention was that his review application that he wished to file before the High Court had good prospects of success in that the magistrate had no jurisdiction to preside over a matter whose claim was P1.9 million.
