TypeCriminal CasePostureApplication for Bail DisallowedCoramHonourable Karanja, Honourable Karanja, Honourable Mshila
Holding

The application for bail is disallowed due to the risk of the 3rd Accused absconding.

Facts

The 3rd Accused, Geoffrey Bosire Nyavetu, sought bail pending trial. He had previously applied for bail before Karanja J, which was denied. The State opposed the application, citing the risk of absconding.

Issues

  1. Right to Bail
  2. Risk of Absconding

Reasoning

The court shares the sentiments of Karanja J that there is a possibility the 3rd Accused may jump bail. The right to bail is a constitutional right, but compelling reasons exist to deny bail.

Outcome

Application Disallowed
