Former Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development and Minister in the President’s Office in Charge of Policy Implementation Jorum Gumbo was released yesterday, Monday, after being detained for a few hours.

Gumbo was arrested earlier on Moday by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) for criminal abuse of office. However, the Minister did not spend the night in custody after the anti-graft body released him on his own recognisance.

The Minister is expected to appear in court later today to answer to the corruption charges.
