Republic v Geoffrey Kaaye Ford [2013] KEHC 1303 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT BUNGOMA

CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO.  42 OF 2013

REPUBLIC …................................... RESPONDENT

VERSUS

GEOFFREY KAAYE FORD ................... APPELLANT

ORDER

I have perused the CSO report which  is not favourable  to the inmate.  I have also perused the proceedings of the lower  court.

The inmate was convicted on his own plea of  guilty on two counts of breaking into a building with intent to  commit a felony and burglary.  He was  sentenced to serve 3 years on each count.  In the first count, nothing was stolen while in  the  2nd count, he stole a trouser valued at Kshs. 550/=.  The trouser was recovered. In mitigation, he prayed for forgiveness.

I have considered the report  and the  circumstances of the case and the accused.  The institutional report indicate the inmate is adapting well to the industry section  where he is attached.  This means he  is positive to rehabilitation.  Therefore on basis of observations made above, I revise  his sentence to 20 months imprisonment.

ISSUED AT  BUNGOMA  THIS   18TH     DAY OF    OCTOBER     2013
