J U D G ME N T

KANYOKE, J.A: By unanimous decision the Judgment appealed from has exhaustively dealt with the facts and the law raised for determination in this appeal and nothing has been urged on behalf of the appellant as to justify our interfering with it. We are satisfied that the judgment appealed from is right and we affirm same.

We are also satisfied that having regard to the gravity of the offences and the modus operandi of their commission, the sentence imposed on the appellant is appropriate in the circumstances.

We accordingly dismiss the appeal against conviction and the sentence.
