1. I have a Motion before me, dated 6th February 2025. It seeks transfer of the criminal case in Busia CMCCRC No. E310 of 2024 to the Mumias Law Courts.
2. I note that the offence, the subject of the charge and prosecution, in Busia CMCCRC No. E310 of 2024, was allegedly committed within the Mumias area of Kakamega County. Consequently, the respondent ought to have been arraigned at the court at Mumias, within whose local limits of jurisdiction the crime was allegedly committed
3. The order that I make, in the circumstances, is that the file in Busia CMCCRC No. E310 of 2024 shall be transferred to the Mumias Senior Principal Magistrate’s Court, for hearing and disposal.
DELIVERED, DATED AND SIGNED, IN CHAMBERS, AT BUSIA, THIS 13TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2025.
