REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAKURU CRIMINAL CASE NO. 86 OF 2013 REPUBLIC ………………......... STATE VERSUS KANYARA KARANJA ….....ACCUSED RULING The accused herein JOHN KANIARA KARANJA has through his advocate MS KERUBO has renewed his application to be released on bail during his trial. The application is not opposed by the prosecution. On 16/12/2015 the High Court declined to grant the accused bail relying of a pre-bail report which indicated that the accused had no fixed abode. After this application was made the court sought a further pre-bail report which report dated 7/12/2016 was filed in the court on 8/12/2016. This report indicates that accused has a home in Kipipiri where his parents live. The Chief of Mawingu Location, Miharati, one Ben Thuita Irungu has by his letter confirmed this fact. It would appear then that the accused has a home and is not in the circumstances flight-risk. I therefore allow his application for bail. Accused John Kanyara Karanja may be released on a bond of Ksh 500,000/= plus one surety of like sum. Dated in Nakuru this 16th day of December, 2016 Mrs Kerubo for accused Mr. Motnede for DPP Court – Hearing on 23/1/2017. Maureen A. Odero Judge
