Neutral citation: [2024] KEHC 10242 (KLR)

Republic of Kenya

In the High Court at Kisumu

Criminal Application E108 of 2024

RE Aburili, J

August 19, 2024

Between

Florence Ayuma

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

Ruling

1. The applicant claims in her application which is undated that she was convicted of the offence of cruelty to a child under section 22(2) as read with section 22(2) (sic) of the Children’s Act and sentenced to serve 2 years imprisonment. She now wants to be released from prison because she is remorseful and has reformed? and wants a lesser severe sentence. She did not even annex copies of proceedings and judgment.

2. I find the application is not supported by any material and is not merited as the sentence imposed was lawful and too lenient. The application for sentence review is hereby dismissed.

3. Signal to issue.

4. This file is closed.
