1. The Applicant was charged and convicted on his plea of guilty of the offences of being in possession of alcoholic drinks contrary to Section 27(1)(b) as read with Section 27(4) of the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act No. 4 of 2010. He was fined Ksh 50,000/- or in default to serve six (6) months imprisonment on 7/3/2022. He has since completed his sentence and hence there will be no need to review the same. However, in the unlikely event that he is still in custody, it is hereby directed that he be released from custody forthwith unless he be held for any other lawful cause. Orders accordingly.
