TWO Harare men have been arrested for allegedly concealing information that they were in the same business with their employer prejudicing the company of revenue worth over US$6000.
The two, Kenneth Nyalugwe and Kennedy Chiwara were not asked to plead when they appeared before Harare magistrate Tapiwa Kuhudzai who remanded them in custody to this for their bail ruling.
Complainant in the case is Open Gold Enterprises being represented by Vincent Chawonza who is the Director and Shareholder of Open Gold Enterprises, which specialises in coach building and truck body spares supplies.
Nyalugwe is employed by the company as the Administrator while Chiwara is the Workshop Manager.
It is alleged on July 10, Nyalugwe did a quotation on behalf of Open Gold Enterprises to supply door cappings USD$6 468 to Superlinx Logistics.
Further allegations are that on July 14, Nyalugwe mistakenly commanded to print a quotation in the name of Fosterwell Investments on the company’s Office Printer, which was busted by the company.
An investigation was conducted by the company’s IT expert and discovered a folder with seven quotations using a company named Fosterwell Investments.
After being questioned, the duo stopped work, and Chiwara refused to surrender the storeroom keys and went evasive.
A stock take conducted revealed that 100 door cappings were missing from the storeroom.
Preliminary investigations indicated that Nyalugwe had supplied similar products to Superlinx Logistics under the name Fosterwell Investments, without the knowledge or approval of his employer.
