RULING
The appellant herein JAMES WANJAU GITHINJI has through his advocate filed this application seeking to be released on bail during the pendancy of his appeal.
At this stage the court is not being asked to pronounce itself on the merits or otherwise of the appeal. The appellant having been tried and convicted by a properly constituted court of law can no longer claim bail as a right. The presumption of innocence no longer applies.
I have perused the record of the trial. I find no merit in the present application and the same is hereby dismissed. No order on costs.
Dated in Nakuru this 22nd day of December, 2016
