In granting bail, Milimani Chief Magistrate Lukas Onyina ruled that the prosecution had not provided compelling reasons to deny the accused bail.
Mwenda was last week arraigned and charged with six counts of uttering a false document, making a false document, as well as a practising certificate.
He pleaded not guilty to all the charges before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Lukas Onyina.
Njagi was arrested by DCI detectives on October 18 after being unmasked as a fake advocate.
The prosecution had asked the court to deny Mwenda bail arguing that if released he would not attend court proceedings.
The court had also been told that Mwenda’s conduct demonstrates that he has no regard for the law, and that he evaded the police for more than four days.
