State to respond to Chombo application
Senior Court Reporter
THE State was on Monday told to take seriously proceedings into the matter in which former Cabinet minister Ignatius Chombo is accused of corruptly parcelling out State land and duping home-seekers through his cooperative.
Harare regional magistrate Mr Stanford Mambanje said the State was supposed to respond to Chombo’s application challenging his placement on remand on the six counts of corruption-related charges.
“The accused made an application on April 15 and the State has not responded.
“The State should respond before end of day today (yesterday) and should take the proceedings seriously,” said Mr Mambanje.

FORMER Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo, who was arrested Monday, was Friday granted bail by a Harare magistrate after spending days in remand prison.
Chombo is facing one fraud count plus five criminal abuse of office charges.
According to the state, Chombo allegedly asked home-seekers to deposit varying sums of money for land purchases into his Chombo Housing Co-operative bank account.
He also allocated himself over 125 stands in Harare and parcelled out land through his companies – Comverol Enterprise, Cayford and Cavford in Carrick Creagh Farm in Harare without paying for the land.
However, Magistrate Stanford Mambanje granted him bail.
