The Appellant in this appeal was charged with and convicted on his own plea of guilt, of two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of rounds of ammunition contrary to the provisions of section 4(1) & (2) and 34(1) & (2) the Arms and Ammunition Act [Cap 223 R.E. 2002]. He was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment or fine at a tune of shillings three million in each count. The sentences were ordered to run concurrently. He appealed against the sentence and in principle complained against conviction. Two issues where in contention; one whether the trial District Court had jurisdiction to entertain the case and two whether the plea was unequivocal.
