In Chambers

ORDER ON REVISION

1. I have examined the trial court record.

2. The convict herein, ELIJAH MUTUGI was on 31. 12. 19 sentenced to six (6) months imprisonment for the offence of creating a disturbance in a manner likely to cause a breach of the peace contrary to Section 95(1)(b) of the Penal Code.

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.  It is so ordered.
