MISCELLEANOUS CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. E024 OF 2021

JOSEPH WAMBIA MAERO............................................................................APPLICANT

VERSUS

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

RULING

1. I have considered the application for sentence Review by the convict/applicant Joseph Wambia Maero.  As the convict was handed 30 years imprisonment which was way beyond the minimum sentence under Section 8(3) of the Sexual Offences Actwhich sentence was reduced to 20 years on appeal, this Court has no jurisdiction to review the said sentence further.

2. The application is found to be devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed.

3. This file is closed.

4. Orders accordingly.

Dated, Signed and Delivered at Siaya this 19th day of January, 2021

R.E. ABURILI

JUDGE
