ORDER ON REVISION

1.   I have examined the trial court record.

2.  The convict herein, NANCY MUTHONI MATHENGE was on 25. 7.2019 sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for the offence of Being cruel to a child contrary to Section 127(1) of the Children’s Act, No.3 of 2001.

3.  Despite the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis in our country, I am not satisfied that this is a suitable case for interference with the sentence by this court in exercise of its revisionary powers.

4. The request for revision of sentence is therefore dismissed.  It is so ordered.
