Mr. Fedha for DPP

Petitioner in person

MR. FEDHA

I filed my submissions on 9/9/19. The petitioner was armed with a knife and threatened. He was given handbag and phone and he never informed anybody. I pray that he be jailed for the 15 years that he has served.

E.K OGOLA (J)

COURT

I am satisfied with submissions of the DPP. The petitioner did not injure anybody. He also appears remorseful. In my view the objective of sentencing has been achieved. The petitioner is herewith sentenced to 15 years which he has already served. He is herewith set free and released unless validly held.

Orders accordingly.

E.K OGOLA
