I have considered the Petitioner's submissions and those of the state.  The Petitioner was charged with robbery with violence and has spent 16 years in jail.  He robbed 92,000/= and caused harm to the victim.

2)  Having served the said 16 years, the Petitioner is herewith forthwith released from jail on the following conditions.

(i)  The Petitioner shall report to Naivasha Police Station on every 1st day of the month for a period of one (1) year beginning 1/11/2020
