VERSUS

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

RULING

The application by way of Notice of Motion application dated 10th April,  2014 seeks that the appellant be admitted to bail pending the hearing and determination of his  appeal.

The grounds are that the applicant has an arguable appeal with a good chance of success.  That he is ready to comply with conditions if any given by this Court and thirdly that he is a Kenyan citizen with a known abode and a family.

The appellant herein was Convicted and Sentenced to ten (10) years Imprisonment for the offence of defilement.

I have perused the records of proceedings and Judgment of the lower Court and also the grounds in the memorandum of appeal and I am satisfied that the application has merit.  It is ordered that the applicant may be released on a bond of Ksh. 200,000/= with one surety or cash bail of Ksh. 100,000/=.

Ruling delivered dated and signed this 16th day of June, 2014.
