IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.656 OF 2001
(From Original Conviction and Sentence in Criminal Case No.2756 of
2000 of the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Thika).
MAURICE RABONG’O OLOO…………………………...APPELLANT
REPUBLIC ……………………………………………….RESPONDENT
The appeal is only against the sentence of 7½ years imprisonment plus 2 strokes.
In considering the request for revising the sentence I note that the appellant had no previous conviction. Further that it took almost 14 months to end the trial in the court below.
I reduce the sentence to six years imprisonment. The order for 2 stroke stands.
