RULING

The accused through his advocate Ms. Odhiang has applied to be released on bail for the duration of his trial. Mr. Onserio for the State made no objection to the release of the accused on bail. The right of an accused person to be released on bail is enshrined in Article 49(1) (h) of the Constitution of Kenya. I have considered this application. I have also considered the pre-bail report prepared by the Probation Department. The accused has a fixed abode and is a family man. I do not consider him a high flight risk. I do hereby admit the accused to bail in terms of Kshs.500,000/- plus two (2) Kenyan sureties of like sum.
