RULING

1 I have considered the application for sentence revision.  The Applicant/Convict was sentenced to serve life imprisonment for the offence of defilement.

2   He appealed to the High Court and Court of Appeal which appeals were dismissed.

3   This Court lacks jurisdiction to hear and determine an application for revision of sentence where there has been an appeal or where the Applicant ought to have appealed.

4   Accordingly, the application for revision of sentence is hereby struck out.

5   The file is hereby closed.

DATED AT SIAYA THIS 26TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2019.

HON. LADY JUSTICE R.E. ABURILI

JUDGE
