Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kipchumba Murkomen has slammed the Ksh50k cash bail granted to suspects accused of invading a hospital in Kitengela.
The interior on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, confirmed that hundreds of suspects have been arrested countrywide in connection with the mayhem witnessed during the Saba Saba protests.
According to the CS, the suspects were released on a bail of Kh 50,000, which was a lenient punishment.
“Two suspects have been arrested and arraigned. The two were granted cash bail of Ksh 50,000. These lenient bail terms are unacceptable. It is in hospitals that we seek refuge at our most vulnerable moments, and to infringe on this privacy is an offence most foul”, Murkomen said.
He also confirmed that 1,500 people had been arrested countrywide and faced various charges.
