The fate of a man sentenced to 30 years in jail for a sexual offence now lies with the Kisumu high court.
John Oduor appealed against the ruling after he was found guilty of a sexual offence with a minor.
According to court documents, Odour had offered Sh100 to the 14-year-old girl (name withheld), who also lives with disabilities in order to induce her to have sex with him.
The accused filed the petition on grounds that the charges were false, the prosecution did not provide enough evidence and the doctor failed to appear and testify in court.
The prosecution, however, said that the court should not grant him the plea, adding that the complainant testified in court that the accused was a neighbour and was able to identify him.
Court reports show that the minor had gone to look for firewood with a second witness, who witnessed the accused giving the complainant Sh100.
During the trial, the prosecution said the accused did not mention any land dispute with the guardian of the complainant when he was being cross-examined.
High court Judge Hillary Chemitei said the court will make a judgement on March 2, 2015.
