RULING ON REVISION

I have perused the report by the probation officer.  It is reported that the applicant Nicholas Kipsang Bett convicted of the offence of stealing stock contrary to Section 278 of the Penal Code and sentenced to 2 years imprisonment effective 30/01/2013 is not welcome to his community.

I have also considered the gravity of the offence and find that the applicant is not suitable for community service order.  The sentence by the honourable trial court is upheld.

Signed, datedanddeliveredin court atKerichothisFriday, 18th October, 2013.
