By ABIUD OCHIENGMore by this AuthorA terrorism suspect got a reprieve after the appellate court turned down a request by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to overturn her release on bail, pending the outcome of the criminal trial. Court of Appeal Judges Philip Waki, Roselyne Nambuye and William Ouko not only upheld that release on bail is a right enjoyed by an accused person, but also lashed out at the DPP for wasting time that could have been used to end the case earlier. The particulars of her associates, with whom she was said to have communicated before her arrest, were not disclosed. “The prosecution, having based their claims against Ms Mohammed on speculation and conjecture, did not expect the court to give countenance to such complacency,” the judges said. Ms Mohammed, a Kenyan and fourth-year medical student at the Kampala International University, Uganda, was, at the time of her arrest, an intern attached to Mubeda Hospital in Uganda.
