Ruling

1. The Applicant Kevin Odongo ‘alias’ Jasiaya was charged and convicted of the offence of shop breaking and attempted stealing contrary to Section 307 of the Penal Code in Nyando SPM’s Cr. Case No. E259 of 2022. He was sentenced on 13th February, 2023 to imprisonment for a period of 2 years. He now applies for review of his sentence under the provisions of the Community Service Order.

2. I have perused the sentence review report by Probation Officer, Nyando and I find that the same is unfavourable to the Applicant. I thus order that the Applicant continues serving his sentence in custody.

4. File closed.
