IBRAHIM ONYANGO OMONDI.....................APPLICANT

VERSUS

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

(Being an Application for Revision of sentence in Criminal Case

No. 556 of 2016 at Senior Resident Magistrate’s court, Ukwala delivered on 02. 03. 2017)

RULING

1. The Applicant was sentenced to serve 7 years imprisonment for the offence of arson. This was on 2/3/2017.

2. He claims he never appealed and wants sentence reduction because he is remorseful and has served a third of sentence in prison.

3. This court has no power to remit sentence. The power of remission rests with prison’s authorities.

4. For the above reason, I find this Application devoid of merit. I hereby dismiss it. File closed.

5. Orders accordingly.

Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya this 2nd day of November 2020
