REVISION

By a letter dated 18th February 2008, the learned counsel for the accused asked me, to exercise my jurisdiction under Section 362 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

I called for, and examined, the record in Malindi SPM Criminal Case No. 19 of 2007.  Having done so, I regret to note that this matter is at the sentence stage.  It is far from being over.

Accordingly, I am unable to undertake revision until such time as the sentence shall have been passed.  I order that the learned trial magistrate do complete this matter in accordance with the court diary.  A copy of this ruling to be served on the trial magistrate for compliance and the advocate for the accused for information.

DATED and delivered at Malindi this 25th day of February 2008.

N. R. O. Ombija
