"HARARE – Zimbabwe Finance Minister Tendai Biti on Tuesday launched a court bid to block the police from accessing his mobile phone records, as the law enforcement agency insisted it wanted the information as part of investigations into possible fraud at his ministry.
Biti, secretary general of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC and effectively second in charge of the former opposition party, asked the High Court to bar the country’s largest mobile operator Econet Wireless mobile from releasing information about his cell phone history to police without a valid court order.
In the urgent application expected to be head today Biti said: “I fear that should the respondent (Econet) be bullied into submission, my constitutional right to privacy would be unjustifiably interfered with and, in addition, vital information pertaining to the organisations I am heading (MDC and finance ministry) will be unlawfully accessed.”"
