(a) the gravity of the alleged crimes;
(b) whether there are urgent and exceptional circumstances that favour the grant of bail; and
(c) whether necessary safeguards exist to ensure that Kenya can fulfil its duty under the Rome Statute to surrender the person to the ICC.
(5) In making a decision to grant bail, the High Court shall not be concerned to inquire whether any warrant of arrest or judgment issued by the ICC was properly issued in accordance with the Rome Statute.
