REPUBLIC OF KENYA High Court at Kisumu Criminal Case 56 of 2012 REPUBLIC ….......................................................................... RESPONDENT VERSUS VINCENT OCHIENG OGOMBE …................................................ACCUSED RULING The application dated 28th September 2012 seeks that the accused person be released on bond. When the same come up for hearing I ordered that a prebail report be prepared for consideration. I have been shown the report filed in court on 20th November 2012. The same is favourable although there was uncertainty on the part of the deceased family members. The issue of bond or bail is discretional although it is now settled that the same is a constitutional right. In the premises I do make the following orders:a) The accused is released on a bond of Kshs. 1,500,000 with a surety of similar amount. b) The accused shall attend court every month for the mention of this case till the same is determined. c) During the subsistance of this case the accused shall in no way interfere with the witnesses or in anyway impeach the hearing and determination of this case. Orders accordingly. Dated, signed and delivered at Kisumu this 28th day of November 2012 H. K. CHEMITEI JUDGE In the presence of: Kiprop for State Counsel Omondi for Appellant
