Mbilo v Republic
Mbilo v Republic (Criminal Revision E025 of 2026) [2026] KEHC 13021 (KLR) (21 August 2026) (Ruling)
The court held that the original release terms, though not unreasonable, warranted review because the matter had stalled for an extended period due to missing files, the prosecution did not oppose the application, and justice required balancing the applicant’s compromised liberty against the need to secure future attendance. The bond conditions were therefore relaxed to one surety instead of two.

Olumula v Republic
Olumula v Republic (Criminal Appeal E005 of 2026) [2026] KEHC 13052 (KLR) (20 August 2026) (Judgment)
The appeal failed because, despite the trial court’s procedural mischaracterisation of the intermediary evidence, the record as a whole still proved beyond reasonable doubt that the complainant was a child, that she suffered penetrative injury, and that the appellant—who was well known to the family and whose account of the jembe was materially consistent with the prosecution case—was the perpetrator. The contradictions did not undermine the substance of the prosecution case, and the appellant’s defence did not dislodge the prosecution evidence.

Nyongesa v Republic
Nyongesa v Republic (Criminal Appeal E039 of 2021) [2026] KEHC 13029 (KLR) (20 August 2026) (Judgment)
The appeal failed because the prosecution proved penetration, the ages of the complainants, and the appellant’s recognition beyond reasonable doubt; the alleged charge-sheet defect was merely formal and caused no prejudice; the evidence was consistent and mutually corroborative; and the sentences were lawful, with life imprisonment mandatory for the first count and the second count sentence not warranting interference.

Omwoyo v Republic (Criminal Appeal E016 of 2025) [2026] KEHC 12800 (KLR) (7 August 2026) (Judgment)
The court, after re-evaluating the record as a first appellate court, held that the evidence of multiple witnesses on the armed home invasions and the appellant’s recognition was sufficient to prove robbery with violence beyond reasonable doubt, and that the rape conviction on Count VIII was also supported by the complainant’s evidence despite the lack of injurious medical findings. However, Count IX was unsafe because the evidence did not sufficiently link the appellant to the rape of PW5, who in fact said he did not rape her. The consecutive sentences were upheld because the offences were s…
