I. KITUMA FUNDI KISOLO vs REPUBLIC [2001] KEHC 340 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

HIGH COURT AT NAIROBI

Criminal Appeal 1338 of 2001

I. KITUMA FUNDI KISOLO ………..……………………….APPELLANT

VERSUS

REPUBLIC…………………………….…………………….RESPONDENT

J U D G M E N T

Criminal appeal Nos.1338 and 1339 of 2001 are consolidated. Both appellants are only against the sentence. They both have now admitted that they robbed the complainant as charged.

In considering the issue of the sentence I note that both appellants had a past clear record. Further that it took the court below nearly 1 ½ years to finalize a case so simple as this one. Think of the stress and …… agony the appellants must have gone thoroughly for all that long period.

There is no remission for robbery sentence.

ORDER:

The sentence against each of the two appellants is reduced to 2 ½ years imprisonment plus 2 strokes each.
