The High Court in Thika has significantly reduced the cash bail for 42 individuals arrested during recent anti-government protests, from Ksh.100,000 to Ksh.30,000 each.

• The bail reduction represents a 70% decrease from the initial amount.
• Lady Justice Florence Muchemi ruled the initial bail set by the lower court was excessive.
• The suspects were charged with robbery with violence during the "maandamano" demonstrations, a charge their lawyers deemed "limping."
