A court recently cleared ZANU PF's Cde Knowledge Kaitano of all charges against him. The MUDZI West MP faced two counts of indecent assault but walked free after his full trial ended. His lawyer proved the accusations lacked solid proof. The case started when an 18-year-old student claimed he touched her inappropriately.
This young woman, who receives school money from Kaitano, told officials he caressed her thigh, touched her shoulder, and kissed her without her permission. These claims led to his arrest and the court case that followed. Mr. Kudakwashe Masiyenyama fought for Kaitano during the legal battle. He argued that enemies made up these stories to hurt the MP's image.
Several people spoke at the Marondera Magistrates Court about what they knew. After hearing everyone, Magistrate Ms. Tamara Chidindi decided the evidence wasn't strong enough. She noticed big problems with the teenager's story, especially about whether someone else was nearby when these things supposedly happened. The court found these issues made her claims hard to believe.
The MP stayed firm throughout the process that political rivals created these false accusations. He maintained his innocence from day one until the final ruling. The judge's decision ends a tough time for the lawmaker. He can finally move forward after facing serious public scrutiny since the allegations first came to light.
