Harare businessman Dilesh Nguwaya, has savaged Norton legislator Temba Mliswa for maligning his reputation by labelling him as corrupt without providing evidence.
This comes after Mliswa accused the Special Anti-Corruption Unit (Sacu) in the President’s Office, Cabinet officers and Nguwaya of visiting arrested businessman Felix Munyaradzi at the Harare Remand Prison and allegedly trying to “extort” him.
Munyaradzi is before the courts for allegedly duping people in land deals. Nguwaya is one of the complainants against Munyaradzi. Responding to the allegations against him by Mliswa, Nguwaya said in a statement yesterday that Mliswa was out of order.
“This smear campaign is motivated by malicious intent that is best known to the Member of Parliament as evidenced by the manner in which the complaint is directed to media and not the law enforcement agencies, that is the Zimbabwe Republic Police or the Zimbabwe Prison and Correctional Services who are tasked with maintaining the security and integrity of prisons in Zimbabwe.
“I do not have a criminal conviction. I am not a criminal. As a matter of fact, I am a decorated businessman and cannot possibly allow Mr Mliswa to continue maligning and soiling my good name,” Nguwaya said in the statement. “By this statement, I reserve all my legal rights to defend my name against mudslinging tirades.” Mbaretimes
