REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT SIAYA

CRIMINAL REVISION 89 OF 2019

DANIEL MOLEN LAKOLE...........APPLICANT

VERSUS

REPUBLIC....................................RESPONDENT

(Being an application for Revision of Sentence and Conviction in Bondo Principal Magistrate’s Court Criminal Case No. 584 of 2019 dated 18. 11. 2019)

RULING

1. I have considered the Probation Officers Report filed on 29. 1.2020 signed by David Odumba Probation Officer Siaya, on the Convict/Applicant.  I am satisfied that the Accused can benefit from guidance and  counselling by a Probation Officer to lead a meaningful life as he is remorseful for the offence.

2. The sentence meted was lawful but the convict being a first offender and taking into account circumstances leading to commissions of the offence the fact that the stolen property was recovered allow the application for Revision of Sentence of 2 years imprisonment.  I substitute the same with Probation service for a period of Fifteen (15) months from date of release and to be closely supervised by a Probation Officer Narok, Kajiado County who shall be making quarterly reports to this court on compliance of the Probation terms by the convict Daniel Molen Lakole.

3. Orders accordingly.

Dated, Signed and Delivered at Siaya this 29th day of January, 2020

R. E. ABURILI

JUDGE
