The applicant filed the present undated application seeking sentence review. 2. From the pleadings on record, the court notes that the matter originated from Ngong Chief Magistrates’ Court. This court therefore lacks the territorial jurisdiction to entertain application. The appropriate avenue for the applicant to file his application is Kajiado High Court. 3. The application is consequently struck out for want of territorial jurisdiction. Orders accordingly. RULING DATED AND DELIVERED VIRTUALLY THIS 23RD DAY OF APRIL 2026 _____________ D.
