1. The Convict/Applicant is Daniel Otieno Awiti. He was sentenced vide Maseno SPM Sexual Offences Case No. E074 of 2021 on 5th January 2024 with the offence of defilement contrary to Section 8(1) as read with Section 8(3) of the Sexual Offences Act to serve fifteen (15) years imprisonment.
2. He now seeks leave to appeal out of time. There is no acceptable reason given for the inordinate delay in filing the appeal.
3. The idea of lack of money is neither here nor there as non-represented convicts always file appeals before this court without any court fees, being paid, through prisons authorities.
4. I find the application dated 11th June 2024 to be an afterthought. It is hereby dismissed and this file is closed.
