REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT SIAYA CRIMINAL REVISION NO. E019 OF 2020 ISIAIAH GORO MALOA.........................................APPLICANT VERSUS REPUBLIC.............................................................RESPONDENT RULING 1. I have considered the Application by the convict Isaiah Goro Maloa in HCR 8/2019 where he was sentenced to serve 3 years imprisonment following a plea bargain in Murder plea of guilty. The convict claims that the 3 years imprisonment were to run from the date of arrest yet his committal warrant states that the 3 years of imprisonment are to run from the date of sentence on 28/7/2020. 2. I have perused the trial court record HCR 8 of 2019 and I find that the court’s pronouncement on sentence imposed was that the 3 years imprisonment term is to take into account the period already spend in prison custody. 3. The committal warrant also states that the applicant/convict herein is sentenced to serve 3 years imprisonment, taking into account the period already spent in prison custody. 4. That being the case, I find no reason why the convict is complaining. I find the pronouncement by this court crystal clear and not capable of any second interpretation or clarification. I dismiss the application by the applicant/convict. 5.File closed. 6. Orders accordingly. Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya, this 3rd Day of December, 2020 R.E. ABURILI JUDGE
