Man claims Maua Law Courts ‘refused’ to refund Ksh.50K cash bail

A 53-year-old man from Igembe South, Meru County is appealing to the government to help him recover money he claimed was paid as bail but is yet to be refunded to him.

Mr. Justus Kabaya from Athiru Gaiti ward told Citizen Digital that he bailed his brother out of jail for Ksh.50,000 in a case that was concluded two months ago.

However, even after presenting his payment receipt he is yet to be refunded back his money with clerks at the Maua Law Courts saying that the money was already paid out to the owner.

The man has denied receiving any refund.

According to him, the clerks insist that the money was paid out in 2017 yet at that time the case had not been concluded.

Mr. Kabaya is accusing the Judiciary of deceit and has appealed to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to open an inquiry file into the incident.

He has vowed to move to court if the matter is not addressed.
