RE Aburili, J

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

(From the original conviction and sentence in Nyando SPM Cr SO Case No. 887 of 2011 on 3/12/2012 by C. Owiye, Ag PM)

Ruling

1. The applicant is a convict of the offence of defilement under section 8(3) of the Sexual Offences Act. He was sentenced to serve twenty years in prison.

2. He seeks orders that the sentence be computed from date of arrest on 3/12/2011. he has not annexed any proceedings to demonstrate whether or not he was on bond during trial. Furthermore, his warrant of commitment to prison has a photograph and particulars of the offence are shown to be manslaughter not defilement. the contradiction leaves a lot to be desired.

3. The applicant appears mischievous.

4. I dismiss the application dated 13. 6.2024 for want of substance.

5. Signal to issue.

6. This file is closed.
