A Milimani court has ordered a senior prisons officer to free a suspect immediately.
This was after Abel Ondieki, the suspect, wrote to the court complaining against his continued incarceration despite being released on bond and bail on January 4.


Mr Ondieki had been arrested for obtaining money through false pretense and was set free on bond and bail, which he paid. However, Industrial Area Remand Prison did not set him free.
His lawyer, Harun Ndubi, in the letter addressed to the chief magistrate criminal division, complained that authorities at Industrial Area Remand had declined to set his client free.
Mr Ndubi said the prison authorities, in collusion with the complainant, and citing administrative procedures, had incarcerated Ondieki unjustifiably.
Paul Sang, the Superintendent of prisons in charge of records, cited protocol and administrative procedures in the prison for Ondieki’s continued incarceration.

  1. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  2. Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it!
