CORAM: R.E. ABURILI, J

GEORGE ONYANGO.....APPLICANT

VERSUS

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

(Being an Application seeking review of sentence in Ukwala Principal Magistrates’ Court in Criminal Case No. 631 of 2019)

RULING

1. I have considered the application for sentence Review by the applicant/convict George Onyango.  He claims that he was sentenced to serve 3 years imprisonment for the offence of murder.

2. If that be the case, then the question is, where is the irregularity or severity of his sentence?

3. Moreover, Ukwala PM’s court had no jurisdiction in 2019 to hear and determine a case of Murder.

4. The applicant appears not to understand his own case that led to his incarceration.

5. I find no substance in the application for sentence Review which is hereby dismissed.

6. File closed.

DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED AT SIAYA THIS 19TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2021

R.E. ABURILI

JUDGE
