RE Aburili, J

June 19, 2023

Between

Caleb Odayo Owino

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

Ruling

1. In his application dated May 26, 2023, the Applicant Caleb Odayo Owino seeks to be admitted on bond pending appeal to the Court of Appeal in Criminal Appeal No 197 of 2020 at Kisumu.

2. He states that he is serving twenty (20) years jail term for murder contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code. He has children and his parents died long ago

3. I find no substance in the application which can be lodged before the Court of Appeal for consideration.

4. The application for bail pending appeal to the Court of Appeal which is not even supported by any material and coming three years after conviction by this very court is no doubt an afterthought and mischievous. It is hereby dismissed.

5. This file is hereby closed
