REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU CRIMINAL CASE NO. 23 OF 2017 REPUBLIC ………………….…………..……..PROSECUTOR VERSUS MAUREEN KAWIRA …………………………....…ACCUSED RULING I have considered the application for bond. The same is not opposed. The Accused has a Constitutional right to bond unless there are compelling reasons under Article 49 of the Constitution of Kenya. I have considered the pre-bail report dated 16/5/2017. The same discloses that the Accused is a flight risk and that there is a likelihood of revenge against her by the community. Her safety, if released is at risk. Accordingly, I consider that there are compelling reasons not to release the Accused on bond for now. The application is declined. She may renew the application at a later date. Matter be mentioned on Thursday 22/06/2017 to consider plea bargaining. DATED and DELIVERED at Meru this 19th day of June, 2017. A. MABEYA JUDGE 19/06/2017
