Police yesterday said investigations on former Zanu-PF Mashonaland West provincial chairman Temba Mliswa for possessing suspected stolen farming equipment at one of his warehouses in Harare, were still continuing.
Police sources said Mliswa would soon be questioned once investigations have been completed.
"The equipment is still under police guard as investigations on the case continue. He will be questioned soon," said a police source.
It is believed that the equipment was part of equipment that was distributed under the Government's Farm Mechanisation Programme, a few years ago.
Police were recently deployed to the warehouse, which is along Simon Mazorodze Road, to guard the equipment.
Police and officials from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe also visited the premises and they will soon question Mr Mliswa in connection with the case.
In February, the embattled former Hurungwe legislator was arrested for illegally possessing seven AK47 assault rifles, with the police still to establish the intention for which he held the guns.
