Musunga and Associates law firm said it conducted its business professionally when it dealt with the case in which VP Joice Mujuru was involved in underhand dealings with Kenyan and Indian financiers who had invested in the Mujuru family owned duty free shops at the Harare International Airport.
VP Mujuru received and signed for thousands of dollars in illegal cash payments from the financiers before elbowing them out in a manner that bordered on extortion and abuse of office.
Musunga and Associates who were representing Suzan General Trading since 2011 allegedly dumped their clients and began representing VP Mujuru in the dispute with her business partners, raising serious questions of unethical conduct on the part of lawyers.
A letter written to Suzan General Trading by Aston Musunga indicated that the law firm was dumping its clients because VP Mujuru was senior member at Zanu-PF for which the law firm handles some cases.
