Ruling

1. This file was opened for purposes of considering whether the Nnamdi Egesimba is suitable for consideration of their sentence review in the spirit of prison decongestion pursuant to the Chief Justice Memo dated 7th December 2022.

2. The applicant was convicted on 6th July 2018 for the offence of trafficking Narcotic Drugs contrary to section 4a of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No.4 of 1994. He was sentenced to fifteen(15) years imprisonment and pay a fine of ksh.18 million in default serve one(1) year imprisonment.

3. From the record, the applicant has only served eight years of his sentence. There is no record from prisons to show that the applicant has less than 3 years to serve. There is no incorrectness or irregularity in the sentence.

4. In my view I find no good cause or reason to revise the sentence imposed.
