The High Court has released Migori governor Okoth Obado on Sh5million cash bail.
The court ordered Obado to provide two sureties of the same amount.
“He must deposit his travel documents including passports,” Justice Jessie Lessit said when she made the ruling on Wednesday.
Lessit also ordered Obado not to intimidate parents or siblings of the deceased Sharon Otieno since the court is at liberty to cancel his bail terms.
Obado’s co-accused persons Michael Oyamo and Caspal Obiero were denied bail with the judge saying that there is a likelihood that they will interfere with the investigations.
Justice Lessit said Obado should not go 20 km away from the boundaries of Migori county. The hearing of the case will be held on May 17 next year.
