Arrest Without Warrant Kenya

Summary

In Kenya, arrests without a warrant are allowed if a police officer suspects a cognizable offense or to prevent harm. Arrested individuals have rights, including being informed of the arrest reason, remaining silent, and accessing legal representation. Relevant case laws include Republic v. John Nganga [2011] for the right to be informed and Githunguri v. Republic [1986] for legal representation. The arrested must be presented to court within 24 hours, as seen in Republic v. Chief Magistrate Milimani Ex-Parte Mohamed [2005].
