Criminal law MISC

MISC

The High Court has exclusive jurisdiction to grant bail in economic offences involving property valued at ten million shillings or more before trial. There was no evidence that the applicants themselves were likely to abscond, and it would be unjust to deny bail based solely on the actions of former co-accused. The applicants are entitled to bail upon fulfillment of statutory conditions.

Section 26(2)(b) of the Parastatal Pensions Act, as amended, does not infringe Article 23 of the Constitution because 'ujira' (remuneration for labour) is distinct from 'pension', and the constitutional protection applies only to remuneration for active employment. The retrospectivity of the provision is not relevant to its constitutionality, and no manifest error or illegality was demonstrated in the prior judgment.
