The application is premised on grounds that he is innocent until proven guilty; a resident of Kalalani in Woldhenna sub-location where he lives with his two (2) wives and ten (10) children, three of whom are adopted.  The family depends on him and he is not a flight risk.  He swore an affidavit in support of the application.

3. Mamba Vincent, learned counsel, for the state filed an affidavit in reply where he asked the court to grant stringent conditions of bail but he did not oppose his release on bail.
