MOMANYI ANDREW MOKUA AND STEPHEN NYAKUNDI ONSONGO VS The Republic

{From the original Conviction and Sentence in the Senior Principal Magistrates’ Court at Keroka, Criminal Case No. MCCR E065 of 2023 by Hon. C. Ombija, Senior Resident Magistrate on 7^th February 2023}

The 1^st Applicant was convicted on his own plea of guilty for the offence of breaking into a building and committing a felony contrary to Section 306 (a) of the Penal Code and handling suspected stolen property contrary to Section 323 of the Penal Code. The trial court sentenced him to serve three (3) years’ imprisonment. The 1^st Applicant has already served 1 year and 1 month of his sentence. The Sentence Review Report filed on 3^rd April 2024 by the Probation Officer Peter Mogusu Ayienda does not recommend a non-custodial sentence. I therefore direct that the 1^st Applicant continues to serve the remaining part of his sentence in custody.

Orders accordingly.

DATED and DELIVERED at NYAMIRA on this 6^th day of June 2024
