The ruling was read on his behalf by Justice Tawanda Chitapi.
During the bail hearing Chin’ono maintained he was being accused of a non-existent charge which was struck off the Statutes by a Constitutional Court ruling.
He also stated that he was being persecuted for speaking out against the corrupt tendencies of President Mnangagwa’s Government, which are depriving the country of basic medical accessories to combat Covid-19.
