REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NANYUKI CRIMINAL CASE NO 3 OF 2019 REPUBLIC.....................................................................PROSECUTOR VERSUS PARTOIP KEISER.................................................................ACCUSED RULING ON BAIL 1. The Accused person in this case, PARTOIP KEISER, is charged with murder contrary to section 203 as read with section 204 of the Penal Code. It is alleged in the information dated 14/02/2019 that on 03/02/2019 at Kurum area in Laikipia North Sub-county within Laikipia County, he murdered one KUNIRA SAMPAU MPOLOKI. On 12/03/2019 the Accused pleaded not guilty to the charge. His trial is scheduled to commence on 09/07/2019. He has in the meantime asserted his constitutional right to bail pending trail. The Republic has no objection. 2. Bail pending trial for all criminal offences is a constitutional right that will be denied only for compelling reason; and any condition that the court might impose for such bail, again by constitutional edict, must be reasonable. See Article 49(1) (h) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. 3. I have perused the witness statements and other documents supplied to the Accused and to court by the prosecution. I find no compelling reason there to deny the Accused his constitutional right. 4. In the event I will admit the Accused to bail. He shall be released upon his own cognizance in the sum of KShs 300,000/00 plus one surety in like sum. It is so ordered.
