V

REPUBLIC…………….……RESPONDENT

Judgment

. The appellant was convicted for stealing various items valued at Kshs 10,110. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to 24 months term of imprisonment. Apart from the radio that was recovered the rest of the stolen items were not. The appellant was employed as a servant. He therefore stole from his employer who had entrusted him with the responsibility of looking after a butchery. Bearing in mind the circumstances of this case the sentence of the lower court is not considered excessive.

The appeal is therefore dismissed.
