REPUBLIC…..…........................................................…….PROSECUTOR

Versus

BONIFACE GATHEGE WACHEKE…………………..….….ACCUSED

R U L I N G

This is a ruling on no case to answer. Having considered the evidence tendered by the prosecution as well as rival oral submissions on no case to answer, I am satisfied that the prosecution has discharged its onus of establishing a prima facie case against the accused. The accused should therefore be called upon to state his side of the story. Accordingly, I now place the accused on his defence. I now call upon him to indicate to the court how he intends to defend himself.

Dated and delivered at Nyeri this 25th day of January, 2010.
