Shuki Likwayi

Applicant

and

Director of Public Prosecution

Respondent

Ruling

1. The applicant herein was sentenced to serve two years for the offence of stealing contrary to section 268 as read with section 275 of the penal code.

2. From the record, the offender is not a first time offender. The society including his close family members are not ready to receive him so even if the court releases him he shall face rejection. I therefore decline this application for revision. He shall continue to serve the sentence up to completion.
