Kenya's Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has called on the Judiciary to reconsider "excessively lenient" bail terms, warning that such decisions erode public trust and contribute to repeat offending.

• Murkomen emphasized that bail decisions should align with both the crime's severity and the risk posed to society.
• The remarks were made at the launch of the Administration of Justice in Kenya Annual Report 2024/25 and the Justice Sector Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Framework in Nairobi on Monday.
• Chief Justice Martha Koome and other senior justice sector officials attended the event, which also highlighted digitization and inter-institutional coordination.
