Ruling

1. This matter having been placed before me this morning to exercise my revision jurisdiction under Section 364 of the Criminal Procedure Code. I have perused the Record and noted that the sentence review report on the applicant is positive.

2. He was sentenced to serve 9 months. I find that the sentence of imprisonment may not be the most ideal considering his relatively young age.

3. I alter the sentence of fine of Ksh. 15,000/= in default 9 months and substitute therefore with an order that he serves community service for a period of 9 months at the Chief Camp to plant trees and turn the place green.It is so ordered.
