“He has deliberately disobeyed the conditions of his release and went ahead to commit further crime. It is only fair that the court cancels the bail and bond he was granted to meet the ends of justice,” said State prosecutor Catherine Mwaniki.
Some of the conditions that he is accused of breaching include; reporting to his village chief once every month and that instead of living with his parents in Nakuru as stipulated in his release conditions, Jowie moved to Nairobi.
The court will deliver a ruling on September 28 on whether to cancel his bail.
