REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU HCCR CASE NO. 92 OF 2018 REPUBLIC....................................................................................DPP VERSUS ISA MOHAMUD WAKO alias GUYO MOHAMUD WAKO ......................................DEFENDANT RULING 1) I have considered the application for bond. Bond is a Constitutional right for every accused unless there are compelling reasons. 2) On record is a Pre-bail report by the Probation Officer. It indicates that the safety of the accused cannot be guaranteed if he is released. 3) The purpose of bond is to ensure that an accused attends Court when needed. If safety of accused cannot be guaranteed, then it means that he might not be present when required to attend court. 4) Further, there is an Affidavit by the Investigations Officer to the effect that the accused may interfere with prosecution witnesses. There is evidence of his having already attacked and injured one as per the P3 Forms on record. 5) Accordingly, I am satisfied that there are compelling reasons why the accused should not be released on bond.
