The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has condemned what it terms an "attack" on judges over their bail and bond rulings for arraigned protesters. In a statement issued on Thursday, July 17, JSC Secretary Winfridah Mokaya defended judicial officers, highlighting specific controversies at Nanyuki and Kahawa Law Courts.
These rulings, pertaining to bail and bond for individuals apprehended during recent protests, have drawn significant public scrutiny.
Mokaya emphasised that decisions regarding bail and bond are never made arbitrarily.
She clarified that these rulings are strictly guided by the provisions of the Constitution, the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Judiciary's own Bail and Bond Policy Guidelines.
