VERSUS

MARY GATWIRI...ACCUSED

RULING ON SENTENCE

I have considered the mitigated on behalf of the accused. She is a first offender. She has been in custody since the time of her arrest and a mother.

I have considered the pre-sentence report which is extremely negative of the accused.

However, considering that she pleaded guilty and saved the court time.  I sentence the accused to 10 years imprisonment since she has been in custody since February, 2019 under Section 333 of the code. She will serve 9 years imprisonment

14 days Right of Appeal explained.
