Dennis Itumbi has come out venting online over Jackie Maribe’s detention at Lang’ata Women Prison despite the High Court granting her temporary freedom 24 hours earlier.
In a series of tweets Itumbi
THREAD: Interesting events at the Deputy Registrar in the High Court. We completed the bond process for our friend Jacque Maribe at 12pm and till now no progress & she is looking at another night in prison despite being freed by The Court yesterday. Let me tell you of the games

Yesterday, the same games were employed. The Deputy Registrar declined to sign the letter commiting documents to land registry and registrar of persons yesterday. We decided to wait for today

This morning family and friends reported at the High Court at 7am and the Deputy Registrar signed a letter that was on her desk from last evening at 11am. No problem with that, we can live with that….

Next we needed a prosecutor from @ODPP_KE and obviously none was willing to get on record. So we decided to tweet.

Itumbi made his revelation explaining how the authorities had made it hard for Maribe to leave prison even after the high coutrt realesed her and the bail paid.
Itumbi, who works for the Presidency, blasted the deputy registrar’s office for ‘playing games’, a statement construed to imply some officials were intentionally detaining Maribe even after her bond terms had allegedly been met.
Apparently the cash bail had been paid by midday and the land ministry and registrar of persons had certified all documents.
