Former National Land Commission Chairman Muhammad Swazuri has been handed a temporary reprieve after the High Court reviewed his bail terms. Justice Mumbi Ngugi on Thursday reviewed his bail term and his co-accused from Sh12 million to Sh7 million. There are three different categories of bail terms depending with the number of counts one is charged with. Swazuri had opposed the bail terms issued by chief magistrate Lawrence Mugambi, arguing that they are too high and unjust. “The bail terms are unjust, exorbitant and in contravention of Article 49 of the Constitution,” Swazuri's application reads.
