[2017] KEHC 3221 (KLR)

The court found that the accused failed to demonstrate any change in circumstances since the previous denial of bail. The risks identified earlier—potential interference with prosecution witnesses and threats to the accused's safety from the community—remain present. As such, there is no basis for reviewing or granting bail at this stage of the proceedings. The application for review of bail is therefore declined.
