Ex NLC chair Mohammad Swazuri will stay for one more week in remand custody awaiting the high court ruling on whether his bail will be reviewed. The DPP has opposed the review of bail on grounds that the Magistrate exercised his jurisdiction fairly and objectively. Swazuri insists that the bail terms of the Sh12 million issued were unreasonably very high. Early in the week, Swazuri was released on Sh12 million cash bail or alternative bond of Sh30 million. The former NLC chair was arrested over allegations of irregular land compensation.
