By RICHARD MUNGUTIMore by this AuthorFormer nominated Jubilee senator Joy Gwendo will not spend Christmas and New Year festivities in jail after a Nairobi court freed her on bail. Ms Gwendo, who had been handed down a two-year jail term by the anti-graft court’s Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti on December 7, was released on a Sh400, 000 cash bail by the High Court. Justice Ngenye Macharia allowed a plea by Ms Gwendo to be admitted to bail after she filed a conviction and sentence review application. The judge was informed that the convict had settled the Sh1.7 million debt that saw her jailed. The former nominated was sentenced to serve a two-year jail term after being found guilty of fraud and abuse of office.
