    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am very grateful for the answer given by the Attorney-General. However, I would like to inform him that the said Mr. Joel Mbugua was given a bail of about Kshs1 million. The variation of the bail reduced that amount to Kshs800,000. Later, the police were able to arrest the second accused. The second accused was given a bond and yet, the prison officers have been unable to present him during hearings. My concern to the Attorney-General is: According to the new Constitution which the Attorney-General has referred to, even under the Judiciary part--- I will read Section 159(2) (a). It reads:- “Justice shall be done to all irrespective of status.” Section 159(2) (b) says: “Justice shall not be delayed.” That man has been in custody for more than 14 months. What will the Attorney- General do to avoid such cases, including that of Joel Mbugua, of people languishing in prison when the co-accused has been discharged on bond, prison officers have failed to present him in court and the accused continues to suffer in custody?"
