1. The applicant BENSON WANYONYI WANDERA has by a Notice of Motion dated 22nd February, 2019 sought this court to consider his mitigating circumstances. In the annexed affidavit he deposes that he was sentenced to serve 20 years imprisonment and wishes for the court to reduce his sentence. The committal warrant shows he was sentenced for defilement.

2. This is an appeal against sentence and should be filed appropriately as same. That will give court an opportunity to consider the case and determine the appropriateness of the sentence.

3. The Applicant should file an appeal as this matter cannot be considered as a revision.

Accordingly, this file is closed.
