Miscellaneous Criminal Application E109 of 2024

RE Aburili, J

August 14, 2024

Between

Millicent Akinyi Odera

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

(From the original conviction and sentence in Winam SPM Criminal Case No. E248 of 2022)

Ruling

1. The applicant was convicted and sentenced to serve 15 years imprisonment for the offence of attempted murder contrary to section 220 of the Penal Code.

2. That is what she states in her application but in the affidavit in support she claims that she was sentenced to serve six years imprisonment. She does not say whether she appealed or not. She seeks for review of sentence to a less severe one because she has reformed.

3. I am not persuaded that the applicant has made out any case for sentence review. The application is devoid of any substance and is hereby dismissed.

4. Signal to issue.

5. The file is closed.
