Embattled form four leavers from Ambira High School in Siaya who were recently caught on camera hurling insults at two top government officials have been released.
The group has been in detention at the Ugunja Police Station where they were remanded for a week for allegedly insulting Cabinet Secretaries Fred Matiangi (Interior) and Amina Mohamed (Education) last month.
Releasing them on Monday, Ukwala Resident Magistrate Gladys Adhiambo directed that they be set free on free bond.
This was to give the prosecution time to gather more evidence to support its attempt to have the students punished over charges of being public nuisance, reports the Daily Nation.
State prosecutor Stephen Okachi expressed the state's inability to press charges against the group currently over lack of evidence.
In the viral video, the group also bragged of having cheated in their final exams.
“Shule huisha, shule huisha, tumeiba, tumeiba (school ends, school ends, we cheated, we cheated),” they were captured shouting.
The release, however, follows a stern warning from President Uhuru Kenyatta who warned that the state will not condone such behaviours from the young generation.
The fall of the case was foreseen by celebrated counsel and Rarieda lawmaker Otiende Amollo who saw no future to it, terming it baseless.
