Mungiki Man Denied Bail

The High Court in Nakuru yesterday denied a Mungiki suspect bond with the judge saying the movement had subjected Kenyans to untold suffering and pain.

Justice Alnashir Visram denied Stephen Mwaura Karanja bond after Karanja had moved to the High Court seeking orders to have him released on bond pending hearing and determination of his case.

He had filed the suit under certificate of urgency through Karanja Mbugua and Company Advocates.

In his ruling, Visram said he could not help taking judicial notice of the mayhem allegedly created by the sect.

The state, however, through State Counsel Nicholas Mutuku did not object to Karanja's release on bond but said he deposit security in court.
