Joseph Irungu alias Jowie’s family members broke down in court on Tuesday as he is was denied bail.
Jowie will remain behind bars during the trial period.
Justice James Wakiaga said he agreed with the prosecutor that Jowie is a man with access to guns and therefore witnesses would be afraid to testify against such a person.
The court also observed that the accused had traveled wide to countries such as Dubai and Afghanistan and even helped several people travel and hence can jump bail.
As the judge made the ruling, Jowie’s mother broke down loudly in court sending the packed room into a somber mood.
Also, Jacque Maribe’s elder sister broke down in happiness the moment Justice Wakiaga said Maribe would be released on bail.
“Based on the materials placed I am unable to agree with the prosecution that Maribe will interfere or abscond court or act in any manner prejudicial” ruled Justice Wakiaga.
