RULING

I have considered the application.  The same is not objected to. The reasons given for the delay is that the Applicant expected her family to lodge the appeal for her which never happened.

I note that the sentence was passed on 11/4/2017 and the application was filed on 3/5/2017.  The delay was for 8 days only.

I am satisfied that the application is meritorious and I allow the same.

The Petition of Appeal be served upon the Director of Public Prosecutions forthwith and a file for appeal be opened.

This file is accordingly, closed.

DATED at MERU this 22NDday of MAY, 2017.
