Benson Mwiti v Republic [2017] KEHC 4812 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU

MISC. CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 24 OF 2017

BENSON MWITI  …………………………………….…….APPELLANT

VERSUS

REPUBLIC......……………….………………………..….RESPONDENT

ORDER

I have considered the Affidavit in Support.  The decision sought to be appealed against was made on 4/12//2009.  It is now over seven (7) years.  The reason given is that of the family failing to get a lawyer for the Applicant.

To my mind, 7 years is too long a delay to overlook.

Accordingly, the application is declined.  Applicant be served with the ruling.

DATED, THIS 28TH DAY OF JUNE, 2017.
