Republic v Mwangi & another [2021] KEMC 3 (KLR)
The court found that the 1st accused, as a public officer and member of the Planning Committee, solicited a bribe of Kshs. 280,000/= and received Kshs. 140,000/= from the complainants as an inducement to influence the committee's decision regarding the demolition of stalls. The prosecution's case was corroborated by electronic evidence, transcripts, and the government analyst's report confirming the presence of APQ powder on the accused's hands. The defence of entrapment was rejected as the EACC acted on a prior complaint and did not incite the offence. The 2nd accused was acquitted on the ch…

Jackline Vusevwa Selenge v Olivier Guiguemde [2021] KEELRC 1062 (KLR)
The court found that the Applicant had disclosed the existence of the audio recording at the outset in the list of documents and witness statement. The inability to upload the recording was due to technical limitations of the e-filing platform, which the court recognized as a plausible explanation. The Applicant provided a certificate of authenticity signed by the person responsible for the device, detailing the production process and device particulars, thus meeting the requirements of Section 106B(4) of the Evidence Act. The court held that the electronic evidence in the CD met all statutor…

Republic v Dennis Paul Manoti [2021] KEHC 3933 (KLR)
The court found that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused, a public officer, solicited and received a bribe in the course of his official duties. The audio recording and transcript, though of imperfect quality, were sufficiently authenticated and corroborated by witness testimony and forensic evidence. The presence of APQ chemical on both hands and multiple pockets of the accused's coat, together with the sequence of events at Ankara Hotel, supported the prosecution's version that the accused received the treated money. The court rejected the defence's explanations…

Peter Ngethe Ngari t/a PNN Funeral Services v Standard Group Limited PLC & Njiraini M. Macharia [2020] KEHC 8905 (KLR)
The court held that under Section 106B of the Evidence Act, electronic records require a certificate for admissibility unless the maker is present and can testify to the document's authenticity and contents. In this case, the makers of the emails (DMFI 4 and 5) were present in court and confirmed authorship and content, thus satisfying the evidentiary requirements. The objection to these documents was therefore dismissed. However, the photograph (DMFI 7) did not meet the requirements as its source and authenticity were not sufficiently established, and the necessary certificate was absent. Th…

Njuguna Mwangi & Samuel Irungu Mwangi v Republic [2019] KEHC 3714 (KLR)
The High Court found that the objection to the admissibility of the electronic evidence was prematurely raised before the trial court, as no application for admission of the contested exhibits had been made at the time. The trial court acted within its discretion in allowing identification and playing of the exhibits, and such procedural decisions are within the purview of the trial court unless there is manifest injustice or lack of remedy. The certificate prepared under Section 106B(2) was a matter for the trial court to evaluate at the appropriate stage. The applicants had an alternative r…
