Respondent

(From the original conviction and sentence in Kisumu Chief Magistrate’s Court Criminal Case No. 78 of 2019)

Ruling

1. I have considered the sentences imposed on the three convicts Lilian Achieng Owino, Lavenda Akoth Aduke and Millicent Akinyi Awando vide Kisumu CM Criminal Case No. 78 of 2019.

2. The three convicts also filed appeals before this court, which appeals were heard and dismissed.

3. I find no reason to revisit the sentences which were upheld by this court on appeal.

4. The convicts were given options of fines. The sums of money stolen from the complainant was quite huge and there is no indication as to where they took that money which they are unwilling to refund to the complainant.

5. I decline any attempt to review the sentences imposed.

6. This file is closed.
