3 strict conditions set for Jacque Maribe as she is released on bail

Justice James Wakiaga on Tuesday October 30th granted Jacque Maribe bail after after a month-long incarceration. The judge however denied her fiancé Joseph Irungu bail.

The Citizen TV anchor secured Kes 2 million surety bond with an alternative of Kes 1 million cash bail with three sureties of a similar amount.

The judge said there was no likelihood of Maribe skipping bail because she is a well-known television personality with many connections and strong family ties.

“She is a single mother of a young child who needs her presence. The law gives the mother a lot of responsibility of bringing up a child and it is only fair if she stays with the child during the period of her trial to teach him how to become a better citizen,” Justice Wakianga ruled.

3 conditions

Wakianga issued three strict conditions which Jacque Maribe should adhere to if she is to stay out of prison for the duration of Monica Kimani’s murder case.

The three conditions include:

1. The accused shall not read news, comment or participate in any interview directly or indirectly related to this case

2. Maribe shall not read news during the period this matter is fixed for hearing

3. Maribe shall not interview any parties directly or indirectly connected with this case including the victim’s family, advocate, prosecution witnesses, and trial court
