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

(Being an Application for Revision of sentence against sentence in Siaya PM Court’s

Criminal Case No. 34 of 2018 on 8/8/2019)

RULING

1.  I have considered the application by the convict Maxwel Omondi Ahenda seeking for review of a 5 year prison term imposed under the Sexual Offences Act.

2.  The trial court exercised discretion and leniency in sentencing the convict to sentence falling below the mandatory minimum stipulated in Law.

3.  I find no reason to review the same, despite the fresh mitigation. The application has no legal basis.  The same is hereby declined and dismissed.

4.  File closed.

5.  Orders accordingly.

Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya this 6th Day of July, 2021

R.E. ABURILI
