REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI CRIMINAL DIVISION CR. REVISION NO. 841 OF 2018 JOSEPH KATUA.........................................................................APPLICANT VERSUS REPUBLIC................................................................................RESPONDENT RULING I have considered the respective submissions. I have taken note of the Applicant’s old age which mitigates leniency in bail terms. Upon interrogating him, I have concluded that he comes from a very economically challenged background and affording bond/bail will subject him to a lot of agony and fatigue. Since he has a friend who is ready to ensure that he attends court at all times, I hold that this is a case in which a personal bond/bail should suffice. I accordingly set aside the bond/bail terms granted to the Applicant at trial. I hereby admit him to a personal bond of Kshs. 50,000/= with one surety of a similar amount. The surety must be one Pius Mutanga Makau. Personal particulars (assessment of surety) shall be done by the trial court. DATED and DELIVERED this 13th day of March, 2019 G.W. NGENYE-MACHARIA JUDGE
