SYLVESTER ANYIKO MAJONJO............................................APPLICANT

VERSUS

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

(Being an application for revision  of sentence in  in Bondo PMCRC No. 476 of 2017 dated 21. 3.2019 before Hon. E.N. WASIKE - SRM).

RULING

1   I have considered the application for revision of sentence of three and a half (3½) years imprisonment for the offence of attempted arson.

2   The Applicant should have appealed against sentence.  There is no compelling reason for revision of the lenient and lawful sentence considering the serious offence where the applicant convict attempted to burn a whole bank and after he stole money from customers’ accounts of the Equity Bank.

3   I decline the application and dismiss it.

4   File closed.

DATED AT SIAYA THIS 26TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2019.

HON. LADY JUSTICE R.E. ABURILI

JUDGE
