THE Kisutu Resident’s Magistrate Court on Tuesday 8th March this year found the former TBC1 investigative reporter Jerry Murro to have a case to answer in a case of corruption after the prosecution side closed its case.
In the case, Murro and his co- accused Deogratius Mgassa and Edmund Kapama are alleged to have corruptly solicited for tsh. 10 million bribe from the former accountant of Bagamoyo municipal council, Mr. Michael Wage.
The ruling follows efforts by the prosecution led by principle state attorney Boniface Stanslaus to close their case on that day after producing six witnesses.
Giving the ruling, resident magistrate Gabriel Mirumbe said that after going through evidence produced by prosecution, the court found that the accused have a case to answer.
This means that the suspects will now have to defend themselves. Their advocate, Mr Majura Magafu, informed the court that they would start their defence testimony on March 29 this year.
This case has been reportedly by Tanzanian media several times since it’s get started so as to enable their viewers, listeners and readers to know what is going on concerning a particularly journalist.
