REPUBLIC AND CYRUS OKUMU WAWIRE VS INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE AND DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS AND 2 Others

High Court at Milimani High Court · · J. Chigiti (SC)

This court has perused the Application dated 20.7.23 and the supporting affidavit.

It is not known how long the judicial review proceedings will take before conclusion. The stay orders issued by this court will be defeated if the Applicant remains in custody. He will in essence be serving a sentence that is devoid of a conviction.

Detaining the Applicant indefinitely will offend his right to fair hearing under Article 27 of The Constitution.

I do hereby invoke the powers of this court in ordering the trial court to release the Applicant on bail or bond terms that the trial court deems fit.
