In Chambers

ORDER ON REVISION

1. I have examined the trial court record.

2. The convict herein, DANIEL NJUKA MAINA, was on 06. 08. 2019 sentenced to a fine of Kshs.5 million and in default to serve 1 year imprisonment for the offence of improper use of electrical energy contrary to Section 64(4)(d) of the Energy Act, 2012. He did not pay the fine.

3. Despite the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis in our country, I am not satisfied that this is a suitable case for interference with the sentence by this court in exercise of its revisionary powers.

4. The request for revision of sentence is therefore dismissed.

5. It is so ordered.
