[2022] KEHC 16262 (KLR)

The High Court found that the applicant failed to demonstrate any incorrectness, illegality, or impropriety in the proceedings or the order of the subordinate court regarding the refusal to grant a surety bond. The trial court had provided reasons for its decision, and the applicant did not present any material to warrant interference with the bond terms. Consequently, the application for review of the bond terms was found to lack merit and was declined.
