RULING

[1] The Applicant applies for Constitutional Redress for his perceived breach of right to be given adequate time and facility to prepare a defence to his trial; his right to have a counsel of his choice; his rights to a fair trial, his right to human dignity; his right to be released from detention on reasonable terms and conditions pending trial; his right to detention with dignity and the opportunity to exercise and to adequate accommodation, nutrition and dental treatment.

[2] The Applicant was on bail for a n offence of theft when he was charged with committing a robbery on the 13^th September 2016. His bail was revoked and was remanded in custody pending trial.

[3] The applicant in making numerous claims of breach of rights, mostly stemming from having his multiple bail applications refused is clearly out of time; there being more than 30 days having elapsed since the matter first arose by being charged with robbery in September 2016.

[4] Apart from being time barred, the application is frivolous and vexatious, and it will not be heard.
