The reason why they were granted bail, was that, the second defendant's will evaded trial, should be discountenanced and that the second defendant who is a Deputy Chief Clerk appeared before the court without persuasion from anybody.
Section 164 (b) of the Administration Criminal Justice Act, Quote, "One can be refused bail when one has attempted to evade trial not service" as argued by the prosecution, Diri said.
The trial will now continue 11 July 2016.
