Dar
es Salaam — The Kisutu Resident Magistrate Court on Thursday, March 29,
granted bail to Chadema's top leaders despite their no show at the
courtroom.
In the bail
conditions, each remanded leader of the main opposition party would be
required to have two sureties who will sign a Sh20 million bond.
The court has
ordered party leaders including national chairman Freeman Mbowe to
report to the Central Police Station every Thursday.
However, State
Attorney Faraja Nchimbi said the prosecution will file petition against
the ruling under Section 378 (1) of the Criminal and Procedure Act
(CPA).
Chadema chairman
Freeman Mbowe, Dr Vincent Mashinji (Secretary General), Mr John Mnyika
(Deputy Secretary General (Mainland), Mr Salum Mwalimu (Deputy Secretary
General (Zanzibar), Rev Peter Msigwa (Member of Parliament, Iringa
Urban) and Ms Esther Matiko (MP for Tarime Urban) were charged on
Tuesday facing eight counts of sedition and raising discontent and
illwill for unlawful purposes.
