Full Case Text

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU

CRIMINAVL CASE NO. 112 OF 2017

MOSES KATHIARI RUKUNGA ...........APPELLANT

VS

REPUBLIC ........................................RESPONDENT

RULING

The applicant/Appellant herein applied to be released on bond pending appeal.  I have considered the evidence on record and particularly the fact that appellants defence was controverted as well as the fact there is no explanation why those who claimed he had hired them to commit an offence could fabricate him and I do find no explanation.  I do find that the applicant has not satisfied the court that his appeal has high chances of success to enable the court grant bond pending appeal.

The application is dismissed.
