Sharon’s Family have to wait a little bit longer for Justice to be served

Migori Governor Okoth Obado will remain in remand prison until October 24 when the court rules on his bail application.

High Court Judge Jessy Lessit said she would deliver a ruling on whether Obado and his co-accused will be granted bail or not after 12 days.

The court gave out the date after hearing submissions from parties in the case.

The prosecution insisted that Obado and his co-accused Michael Oyamo and Caspal Obiero should not be released on bail.

This is Obado’s second attempt at securing bail in the Sharon Otieno murder case.

On October 8, the trio pleaded not guilty to the murder of 26-year-old Sharon Otieno.

The trio are also facing a fresh count of murder after the court allowed the prosecution to amend the charge sheet to include that of Sharon Otieno’s baby.

But the decision by the presiding judge will make Obado to wait in Industrial area remand prison for 12 more days. This comes after the governor was admitted in Kenyatta Hospital for some medical issues.

The decision by the high court to hear the case on bail application means the family of Sharon has to wait a little bit longer before justice is served to them.

This comes after Kenyans today took on Twitter to raise their concerns on the process of justice in the country which is very slow.

The family resolved to burry their dead after agreeing that justice will be served to their daughter who as brutally muredered and her unborn baby.

This comes after the family refuted claims that were going round on social media that it is soliciting for help from the county government of Migori.
