After a long day in court stretching late into the night, the Magistrates Court at Milimani rendered its ruling on the 187 people arrested and charged following yesterday's protests.
The court has granted each of the arrested children a personal bond of Kshs. 10,000 and mandated their separation from the adults at a Capitol Hill police station until they provide details of their parents in compliance with the bond terms.
The court gave each adult a personal bond of Kshs. 50,000 and will release them after they provide details about their close family and relatives.
To prevent the recent habit of police frustrating release processes even after court orders are issued, the court gave the police a deadline of 10 a.m., by which time all relevant details of the arrested persons ought to have been recorded and their release secured.
The court will discuss the issue tomorrow, seeking guidance on safeguarding children, the majority of whom are street orphans.
