REPUBLIC OF KENYA High Court at Kisumu Murder Case 62 of 2012 REPUBLIC …..............................................................................PROSECUTOR VERSUS PETER OCHIENG …......................................................................APPLICANT RULING The application dated 28th September 2012 prays that the accused person be released on bond pending the hearing and determination of this Criminal case. After perusing the same I did order that a pre bail report be prepared by the probation officer. The same was prepared and is dated 30th October 2012. It speaks favorably about the accused person. Bond is a constitutional right but the same again is discretional. The circumstances for it to be granted varies from case to case. I have nevertheless perused the report and I am satisfied that the applicant / accused person deserves the same. I do consequently order that:a) The accused be released on a bond of Kshs. 1.5 million with a surety of similar amount. b) The accused person shall attend court for mention every month till the case is determined. c) While on bond the accused should not in any way interfere with the witnesses or in any way impede the progress of this suit. Orders accordingly. Dated, signed and delivered at Kisumu this 14th day of November 2012. H.K. CHEMITEI JUDGE In the presence of: Kiprop for State Counsel Onyango for Appellant HKC/aao
