The Kahawa Law Courts have freed at least 37 persons arrested in relation to protests on a Sh50,000 cash bail or Sh200,000 bond.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Renson Ingonga had opposed the release of the group, which include former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's allies, James Wanjiru and Wanjiku Muhia, as well as three Burundi nationals, claiming the police did not know their addresses.
