STATE....................................................................RESPONDENT

(Being an application for revision of sentence in Bondo PM Criminal Case No. 572 of 2019 dated 20. 8.2019 before Hon. E.N. Wasike - SRM )

RULING

1. The Convict George Otieno Ogolois serving 3 years imprisonment for the offence of grievous harm.  He pleaded guilty.  He now seeks sentence revision.

2. I have considered the application and the injuries sustained by the victim which were serious involving fractures.  Punishment for grievous harm is up to life imprisonment.  Three (3) years imprisonment is lawful and too lenient.  I find no reason to interfere.  The plea was unequivocal.

3. The application for sentence Revision is found to be devoid of merit.  The same is hereby dismissed.

4. File closed.

5. Orders accordingly

Dated, Signed and Delivered at Siaya This 16th day of November, 2020
