Ezekiel Kyama Nzyoki, popularly known as "Mr Speaker Sir," has been released on a personal bond of Sh100,000 after pleading not guilty to charges of unlawfully accessing Parliament Buildings and causing malicious damage to property worth Sh41.2 million during the June 25, 2024 Gen Z demonstrations.
Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Caroline Mugo ordered Kyama, a Kenyatta University fourth year student release on Monday finding that the prosecution had failed to demonstrate any compelling reasons to deny him bond despite the seriousness of the charges.
"The issue before the court is simple. The Constitution guarantees every accused person the right to reasonable bail unless there are compelling reasons," Magistrate Mugo ruled.
