The decision comes after a public furor over the Sh10 million bond with a similar surety after Mutua had appeared before the court at his hearing.
The 29-year-old man had been charged before an Eldoret court for stealing goods worth Sh37 million from a popular club in the town during the Finance Bill protests, which he denied.
The list of goods listed as having been stolen from the club during the protests included meat and managu vegetables.
According to the charge sheet, Mutua in the company of others who are still at large broke into Baniyas Club Square on June 25 and stole items including alcohol, electronics, sound systems, utensils, gas cylinders, chairs and food items all valued at more than Sh37 million.
The alternative charge states that the suspect dishonestly retained a channel sound craft mixer, a mini pearl controller DMX and an HDMI box knowing or having reason to believe the items were stolen goods.
