@Kayo, this is as a result of the new constitution, the activist drafters and lobbyists had always thought that the previous prohibition of bail and bond for capital offenders was meant for political activists due to misuse of the same by the Kenyatta and MO1 regime. It is sad that the new laws have a propensity to favour the suspect and disregard the victim. The magistrates and judges need to know that victims as well have rights and need equal protection under the law. Very unfortunate, the same is seen when activists resist proactive laws such as suppression of terrorism and how it was finally watered down.

I agree with you @kayoh. There was no remorse, laughing sign of contempt of court but magistrate chose to give bail. Very Sad.

Life is so unfair...

What are you guys angry about.

For a moment there I thought they had let out an accused.

I'm all for justice especially in this case, but consider this issue.

These are alleged to have been caught on camera, committing a crime. Yet, the prosecution and the police cannot or would not come up with an affidavit to keep them in on time. We just can't allow the prosecution and the police to be lazy because of public opinion.

So if this is the type of investigations and prosecutions that go on, what about for lesser cases?

The law is very clear. It's upto the prosecution to prove its case. For everyone, even Satan. That is why God still lets him run lose in the world even when God knows he will be burning a few of us later on.

This is a sign of a pathetic police force who now want to get you so angry that you will ask for these guys not to make it until their next hearing.

I'm very mad. But I'm not mad with the law. I'm mad with the police and the prosecution. That is where the blame squarely lies.

@King G, there is no law that provides for looking like a thug, smelling like a thug or behaving like a thug. Even laughing like a thug.

Even if we hired 10,000 hangmen and had them in each village, you have to prosecute them first.

Successful prosecution means that you come up with credible evidence. Evidence can only be found by proper investigations.

If any of these is not there, then your 10,000 hangmen will be chewing miraa in the High Court Corridors.

Be angry but be angry at the right people.

In other countries, the commissioner of police would have been forced to resign and the DPP following closely after for such a shoddy job.

The magistrate saved their face by giving them 1m in bond and a surety. They probably won't be able to raise that. If they do, then follow the people who raised that money for them.

But keep the judiciary out of nonsensical and pathetic police and prosecution behaviour.

I will offer myself to be the hangman....on part time





we need to stop these buggers
