RULING

1. The Applicant

GEORGE OCHIENG OLEWE

was Convicted and sentenced to serve seven (7) years imprisonment for the offence of

Manslaughter

by Hon. M. Obiero, Principal Magistrate on 9.6.2017 in Bondo Principal Magistrate Criminal Case Number 114 of 2016. He appealed to this Court vide High Court Criminal Appeal 23 of 2018 which appeal was heard and dismissed on 5.5.2020. The Convict has now come back to this court for sentence Revision

2. I have considered the Probation Officer’s Report. I observe that this court having pronounced itself on sentence imposed on the applicant by upholding it on appeal, it has no power to revisit the said judgment and reduce the sentence further. The sentence imposed was lawful and lenient, and this court has exhausted its jurisdiction and discretion in the matter.

3. Accordingly, the application, is declined and dismissed.

4. Orders accordingly.

5. File closed.
