UBUSHINJACYAHA v NTIRANDEKURA
The appellant failed to submit grounds of appeal within the statutory period despite having access to the judgment; Covid-19 did not constitute a valid excuse as he was able to file the notice of appeal on time. Therefore, the appeal was inadmissible and the original conviction and sentence stand.
