STEPHEN KARURI MUIRURI..............................................................APPLICANT

VERSUS

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

RULING

COURT

Application considered. I note from record applicant was arrested on 18

th

October 2019, arraigned in court on 22

nd

October 2019. He pleaded not guilty to both counts. Case was heard. PW1 was heard. Later a plea of guilty entered. He was convicted and sentenced on 14

th

October 2020 to four year.

That period is illegal taking into account that the maximum sentence is three years. On that ground alone, I set aside the sentence imposed upon the applicant. I also note that the accused is a first offender. Maximum sentence would be harsh. I reduce the sentence to two years, with effect from the date of arraignment in custody on 18

th

October 2019, but without remission. He will be released on 18

th

October 2021.

It is so ordered
