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

(Being an Application for Revision of sentence in Criminal Case No. 848 of 2016

of Principal Magistrate’s Court, Siaya dated 29. 6.2017)

RULING

1. I have considered the applicants’ application for revision of sentence on account that it is very harsh and excessive.  The applicant STEPHEN OTIENO ODHIAMBO was convicted for the offence of attempted defilement and sentenced to serve 10 years imprisonment.  He did not appeal against the conviction and sentence.

2. The sentence was lawful.

3. I find no merit in the application for sentence revision.

4. The application is dismissed.

5. File closed.

Orders accordingly.

Dated, signed and Delivered at Siaya this 9th Day of July 2020
