Magistrate Milton Serima has dismissed an application by MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora, facing allegations of theft of trust property involving $15 000, to have his passport released permanently.
He said it was too premature to permanently release the passport to him, adding that Mwonzora could always make an application for a temporary release whenever he intended to travel.
In his application yesterday, Mwonzora argued that as the festive season was approaching, he needed to travel with his family.
Mwonzora added that he was abiding by his bail conditions and had religiously brought the passport back whenever it was given to him on temporary basis.
However, prosecutor Miss Sharon Mashavira opposed the application on the basis that the State still has the same fears that it had when Mwonzora first appeared in court.
