SAMMY WANYOKO KAMAU………………………….. APPLICANT VERSUS REPUBLIC …………………………………………………. RESPONDENT

RULING

SAMMY WANYOKO KAMAU (applicant) is charged with the offence of Robbery with violence contrary to Section 296 (1) of the Penal Code in the Nairobi Chief Magistratate’s Court in Cr. Case No.317 of 2001. He was released on a personal bond of Shs.500,000 and one surety of a similar amount. He was unable to get a surety of Shs.500,000. He has thus come to this court, seeking a reduction of terms of bond to enable him to be released from custody pending trial. He also complains of suffering from septic abdominal ulcers. Mr. Mungai, learned State Counsel, does not object to the reduction of the terms of the bond to the extent that two sureties each of Shs.250,000 do execute the surety bonds. I am satisfied that the terms of the bond were difficult. I accordingly reduce them in the following manner: the applicant Sammy Wanyoko Kamau be and is hereby released on his personal bond of Shs.500,000 with two sureties of Shs.250,000 each. It is so ordered.
