VERSUS

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

(Being an Application for Sentence Review vide Original Criminal Case No. 72 of 2015 at Ukwala Law Courts)

RULING

1. I have considered the application by the applicant/convict MAURICE OUMA WANGARUO for sentence review. The applicant is serving 15 years imprisonment for what he calls conviction for a sexual offence which is not specifically disclosed. There is no date of conviction and by which magistrate. Nonetheless, the applicant had the opportunity to challenge the sentence which was lawful, by way of an appeal.

2. I find no reason to review lawful sentence imposed by the trial court.

3. The application is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed.

4. File closed.

Orders accordingly.

Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya this 10th Day of July 2020
