Holding
The appeal is dismissed as the High Court's decision was properly reasoned and supported by authority.
Facts
A robbery was committed at the National Bank of Tanzania in Moshi on 21st May, 2004. Two Kenyans, Patrick Ayisi Ingoi and Wilfred Onyango Nganyi, were arrested in Kenya and extradited to Tanzania for trial.
Issues
- Whether the extradition proceedings were valid under the Extradition (Contiguous and Foreign Countries) Act, Cap. 76, Laws of Kenya.
- Whether the High Court erred in dismissing the appeal against the Magistrate's decision to discharge the suspects on the grounds that there was no evidence to support their return to Tanzania.
Reasoning
The court held that there was a connecting factor between the appellant and the offence he would face at trial, as evidenced by the communication between the Tanzanian bank-employee in flight and the appellant, and the recovery of large amounts of money from the appellant soon after the incident.
