Between

Samuel Odhiambo Ogolla

Applicant

and

Republic

Respondent

(Being an Application for sentence revision in Siaya CM’s Criminal Case No. E345 of 2022 delivered by Hon L Simiyu, Principal Magistrate on 10. 11. 2022)

Ruling

1. The presentence report filed on the convict Samwel Odhiambo Ogolla reveals that he is a known burglar and unsuitable for non-custodial sentence especially during this festive season. He has hardly spent 2 months in jail of the 9 months imprisonment imposed for being in possession of Government stores namely, jungle police uniform.

2. The local administration disowned his lie that his uncle used to be a police officer in Kilifi. The convict uses jungle uniform to steal from innocent people.

3. He requires rehabilitation in prison,

4. I decline to review his sentence.

5. File closed. I so order.
