Four women accused of being al Shabaab members were granted Sh500,000 bond each on Thursday after being in custody for nearly two years. The accused faced 20 terror related charges, including supporting the execution of terror activities in the country. Principal magistrate Henry Nyakweba said he released them on bond terms approved by the High Court in an earlier case. The women were charged afresh after new information arose from a review of the investigations report. The office of the Director of Public Prosecution moved to the High Court seeking orders to quash the bail.
