REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU CRIMINAL CASE NO. 87 OF 2017 REPUBLIC …....………………………….......PROSECUTOR -VERSUSKOKOI ERUNYE.........................................................ACCUSED RULING The accused took plea on 6/12/2017 whereby he denied the charge of murder. He applied for bond but the court remanded him awaiting the pre-bail report by the Probation Officer. When the matter came up on 18th January, 2018, the pre-bail report was not ready and the Probation Officer requested for more time. As of today that pre-bail report is not yet ready. Bail/Bond is a Constitutional right of every accused person. There are no compelling reasons that have been advanced to deny the accused bail. We cannot wait for the report forever. Accordingly, I grant the accused bond of KShs.200,000/= with a surety of a similar amount. Mention on 18/7/2018 to give a date for trial. DATED and DELIVERED at Meru this 1st day of February, 2018. A. MABEYA JUDGE
