The Prisons Department is on the spot for failing to release former officers accused of being behind the disappearance of two Indians and their Kenyan taxi driver despite a High Court order.

The 15 officers were freed on a Sh3 million bond or Sh1 million bail on Wednesday evening by Justice Dola Chepkwony. She upheld a ruling by Kahawa Law Courts Magistrate Gideon Kiage, who had freed them on the same terms on November 10, 2023.
