Miscellaneous Criminal Application E034 of 2022

RE Aburili, J

March 28, 2023

Between

Martin Onyango Omondi

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

Ruling

1.

The Convict Martin Onyango Omondi was convicted and sentenced to serve ten (10) years imprisonment vide Winam Senior Principal Magistrate’s Court Criminal Case No. 54 of 2020 on February 10, 2022 for the offence of robbery with violence contrary to section 296(2) of the

Penal Code

.

2.

He prays that the court takes into account section 333(2) of the

Criminal Procedure Code

on the period spent in custody.

3.

It was the duty of the Convict to apply for the lower court proceedings and file them herein for the court to peruse and satisfy itself as to whether he was in custody or on bond pending trial.

4.

I find the application herein filed on March 18, 2022 devoid of material in support thereof. It is hereby dismissed.

5.

The applicant can file a fresh application annexing proceedings from the lower court for consideration taking into account the fact that he has already benefitted from the least severe sentence as punishment for robbery with violence upon conviction is mandatory death. Ten (10) years imprisonment was a slap on the wrist.

6.

File closed.

7.

I so order.
