Issues
- Whether the Accused should be granted bail pending trial
- Reasons for granting or denying bail
Reasoning
Bail is a constitutional right for any offence. It will be denied only for compelling reason. Any conditions imposed for bail must be reasonable. The Republic has not opposed the Accused’s release on bail. I find no compelling reason to deny the Accused bail.
Outcome
Granted
Orders
- The Accused shall be released pending his trial on his own cognizance in the sum of KShs 100,000/00 plus one surety in like sum
