The High Court rejected a legal challenge from Harare lawyer Naison Machingauta about public procurement laws. His case had problems with how it was presented. He wanted to fight against a part of the Public Procurement Act that lets some government businesses avoid following certain rules. President Mnangagwa created this exemption through law SI 156 of 2023. Machingauta claimed this broke constitutional rules about fairness, transparency, and good management.
The government officials argued Machingauta did not clearly explain which exact constitutional rights were violated. Justice Rogers Manyangadze agreed with them. The judge said people who challenge laws must be very specific about which parts of the Constitution are broken. Every claim needs clear details. The court found Machingauta's main document lacked enough information. His later papers could not fix these early mistakes. The judge also mentioned people should try other legal options before claiming something is unconstitutional.
