Ruling

1. The Court has perused the record, noted that the Applicant is a young man who readily admitted the crime and expressed remorse.

2. He has not demonstrated being a student who desires to acquire a sill in building technology.

3. Noting that incarceration is not the only way to rehabilitate offenders, the economic pressure placed on correctional institutions with high population and the need to reintegrate offenders back to community, the court revises the sentence of two (2) years imprisonment and substitutes therefore eight (8) months’ probation under the supervision of the County Director of Probation, Kakamega.
