JUDGMENT
Appellant was convicted for possession of changaa and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment. No analyst was called to prove the content of the jerrycan as changaa. Therefore principal state advocate does not support the conviction.
I am in agreement with him and will allow this appeal.
The convictions quashed and sentence set aside.
