JUDGEMENT
The appellant herein in exercise of his right to appeal permitted under the law has launched this appeal against the judgment of the Circuit Court Mpraeso, delivered on the 18th of June 2021. This was after time has been extended for him by this court to file the Appeal. The charges upon which the appellant was convicted and sentenced are as follows;
Unlawful Entry contrary to section 152 of Act 29/60
Stealing contrary to section 124[1] of Act 29/60
The appellant pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case went through a full trial and after the close of trial, the Appellant was accordingly convicted and sentenced to 5 years IHL for each of the two charges against him to run concurrently.
The appellant, obviously being dissatisfied and aggrieved with the sentence of 5 years IHL for each count imposed on him by the trial Judge has appealed to this court on the following Grounds of Appeal. I wish to reproduce the salient part of the Petition of Appeal.
