Neutral citation: [2024] KEHC 10218 (KLR)

Republic of Kenya

In the High Court at Kisumu

Criminal Revision E117 of 2024

RE Aburili, J

August 12, 2024

Between

Fredrick Aketch Anyumba

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

Ruling

1. The applicant is a convict for the offence robbery with violence contrary to section 296(2) of the Penal Code and was sentenced to serve ten years imprisonment. He claims that he did not appeal because he had no points of law to advance on appeal. That he has reformed and seeks lenient sentence.

2. The applicant prays for lenient sentence, having learnt life skills in prison.

3. I have considered the application and the grounds and supporting statement. I do not find any material upon which this court can review the sentence imposed, which was lenient as the mandatory sentence is death. The application filed on 23/7/2024 is declined and dismissed.

4. Signal to issue.

5. This file is closed.
