    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General is not addressing himself to that particular case. He is talking about a policy of decongesting prisons, among other things. We are talking about Joel Mbugua and not about the policy of decongesting prisons. We want to know the following from the Attorney-General: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Section 49 of the Constitution, which he taught me about as my professor in law, talks about the Rights of the Accused Persons. You said, at that time, because there were similar rights of the accused persons, that, under Section 49 of the Constitution, an accused person, as in this case, has certain rights and you know them. Section 49(1)(h) reads: To be released on bond or bail, on reasonable conditions, unless there are pending or compelling conditions for him not to be released. The Attorney-General has admitted that the initial bail that was given could not be raised because it was varied. Is it not possible for him, as the Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya, to take up this particular matter and find a way in which the Government can get Mr. Joel Mbugua defend his case from outside? Is it not possible as your first act of good faith for this country?"
