Richard Otieno Ooko v Republic [2020] KEHC 503 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA

AT SIAYA

CRIMINAL REVISION NO. E025 OF 2020

RICHARD OTIENO OOKO........................................................................................PETITIONER

VERSUS

REPUBLIC.....................................................................................................................RESPONDENT

(Being an application for revision of sentence in Siaya PMC Criminal Case No.223 of 2020

dated 2. 9.2020 before Hon. J. Ong’ondo – P.M.)

RULING

1. As the applicant was a repeat offender in a span of one year, following the Probation Officer’s Social Inquiry Report and as he has been in Prison for barely three months, I find the request for revision of sentence not merited.  The sentence was lawful and lenient.  The Convict is a threat to social harmony.  Let him be fully rehabilitated in Prison before release into the Society.

2. The application for revision of sentence is rejected and dismissed.

3. File closed.

4. Orders accordingly.

DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED AT SIAYA THIS 18TH DAY OF DECEMBER, 2020

R.E. ABURILI

JUDGE
