Q: I was arrested on New Year’s eve in a police swoop and released on New Year’s Day without any indication of what offence I had committed. I was released after paying Sh1,000 bond, but no receipt was given to me and I wasn’t told when I would be charged before court. What is the procedure for effecting an arrest and what are my rights when an officer seeks to arrest me?
