A local banking institution has petitioned Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri and the director of salary services bureau to garnish the salary of an Air Force officer, Arnold Pullen in a bid to recover US$262 000 debt.<\/p>\n
The Central Africa Building Society Bank (CABS) approached the High Court and applied for a garnish order and a monthly payment of US$1 000.<\/p>\n
Court heard the judgement debt arises from unauthorised overdrafts utilised by Pullen and remains outstanding and unsatisfied.<\/p>\n
Muchinguri-Kashiri was cited as the first respondent in the application while the director of the Salary Services Bureau and Pullen were cited as second and third respondents respectively.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the 2nd of April 2019, the applicant obtained an order against the 3rd respondent in the sum of US$262 208 together with interest thereon at the rate of 20% per annum and costs of suit on a legal practitioner and client scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe judgement debt arises from unauthorised overdrafts utilised by the 3rd respondent which debt remains outstanding and unsatisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n
CABS wrote that it was aware that Pullen is a member of the Air force of Zimbabwe and is employed by the first respondent (Muchinguri).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first respondent through the second respondent is obliged to pay a monthly salary to the judgement debtor as his employee and it is on that basis that the present application is made.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe applicant is however unaware of the actual salary or wages earned by the 3rd respondent.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe applicant prays for an order compelling the first respondent to pay the sum of US$1 000 per month to it until the judgement is paid in full.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that payment of the sum of US$ per month to the applicant is reasonable and that the judgement debtor will have a sufficient balance of income remaining to maintain himself and those dependent upon him,\u201d wrote the bank in its founding affidavit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
