CRIMINAL APPEAL NO
The appellant was convicted on the same counts she was charged with under the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Act; the trial court did not create new offences or apply laws to convict her outside the charge. The evidence established that the appellant, as imprest holder, retired funds for a ceremony and gifts that never occurred, using false documents. The prosecution proved the offences beyond reasonable doubt. The sentence and compensation order were within statutory limits and lawfully imposed.
