Ruling

1. I have gone through the Chamber Summons application and supporting affidavit of the applicant.

2. I have also gone through the proceedings and note that the plea was taken on November 26, 2019. The applicant was arrested on November 24, 2019 and sentence was passed on October 21, 2021.

3. The trial court did not however, taken into consideration the period spent in custody. It is trite law as well as the sentencing guidelines that the period spent in custody must be considered. I therefore find the application merited and order that the sentence of the applicant shall be re computed to run with effect from November 24, 2019

4. Orders accordingly.
