Ruling

1. Whereas I had on 5. 4.2024 directed the Deputy Registrar to avail Tamu PMC CR. C. No. E180 of 2022 for perusal, that directive is yet to be complied with.

2. A pre-sentence review report dated 30. 4.2024 has been filed by the Probation Officer Kisumu and the same indicates that the Applicant’s community and local administration are apprehensive that, the Applicant will once released revert back to his criminal activities and alcoholism wherefore it is indicated that he is not fit to benefit from a non custodial sentence.

3. Premised upon the above findings the Applicant’s application herein for review of his sentence is hereby declined.

4. This file is marked as closed.
