MARTHA ADHIAMBO OCHIENG.....APPLICANT

VERSUS

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

(An Application for Revision of sentence in Criminal Case No. 1186 of 2018 in the Principal Magistrate’s court at Bondo dated 29. 11. 2019 before Hon. E.N. Wasike, SRM)

RULING

1. I have considered the application for sentence Revision, the Probation Report and the Siaya GK Prisons Officer’s Report on the character of the convict.

2. The property stolen was in excess of 1. 4 million and most of it was never recovered.  The convict acted in concert with others to deprive the complainant of her hard earned property.  The complainant is still suffering the effects of losing valuable property.

3. The sentence imposed was lenient and lawful.

4. I find the application for sentence revision not merited. I decline it and dismiss it accordingly.

5. File closed.

6. Orders accordingly.

Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya this 30th Day of July, 2020

R.E. ABURILI

JUDGE
