RULING

1. I have considered the application dated 16/9/2020 by the convict George Ouma.  He was convicted of the offence of Manslaughter and sentenced to serve 10 years imprisonment on 29/6/2020 in Siaya High Court Criminal Case No.14 of 2015.

2. He now seeks leave to appeal against sentence only, out of time.  I have considered the application and the reasons for the delay.

3. I am not satisfied with the reasons for the inordinate delay.  I dismiss the Application for want of merit and inordinate unexplained delay.

4. File is closed.

5. Orders accordingly.

Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya this 2nd day of November 2020
