How Bail Works In Kenya
Kenya's Constitution gives an arrested person a right to bail unless there are compelling reasons. At a police station a suspect can be released on cash bail, with or without sureties, or on a free bond. If the accused does not appear, the money or property deposited can be forfeited to the court.
The guidelines list insurance bonds among security documents courts may accept.
