Tomana appointed prosecutor-general


0

Former attorney-general Johannes Tomana was today sworn in as the country’s first prosecutor-general in terms of the new constitution and will serve for the next six years. The new constitution separates the role of the attorney-general and that of the prosecutor-general. The AG is the government’s chief legal adviser while the PG heads the National Prosecuting Authority. The hunt is now on for a new attorney-general. Tomana survived a five-year onslaught by the Movement for Democratic Change which argued that his appointment by President Robert Mugabe was illegal because Mugabe had not consulted MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai who was Prime Minister-designate at the time.
