High Court judge Lucy Mwihaki also said on Monday that the blogger has defied an order to appear for mitigation and did not give a justifiable reason.
Nyakundi has previously expressed remorse and asked the court to be lenient.
The blogger was taken to court under warrant of arrest after spending three days in police cells.
Nyakundi was found guilty of disobeying court orders on December 1 last year.
