REPUBLIC…………………………………..…..…RESPONDENT

RULING ON REVIEW

1. I have considered the application filed 13. 8.2021 filed by James Mwangi Njogu.  He seeks revision of his sentence.

2. He was convicted in Thika Criminal Case No. 3794 of 2012 with three counts of Robbery with violence and one count on rape.  He was sentenced by that court to death.

3. He appealed to Kiambu High Court Criminal Appeal No. 132 of 2017.  The appeal was unsuccessful.  By the judgment f 14/8/2018 Kiambu High Court dismissed the appeal on conviction and ordered the matter be placed before the trial court for consideration of re-sentencing.

4. On 23/1/2019 the trial court re-sentenced the applicant to 10 years on each count to run concurrently.

5. In view of the above, I decline to review the sentence.  The application for revision is dismissed.

RULING DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED at KIAMBU this 27TH day of SEPTEMBER, 2021.
