REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MACHAKOS CRIMINAL APPEAL NO 146 OF 1987 KUNGA ………,……………….………APPELLANT V REPUBLIC……………………………..RESPONDENT JUDGMENT This is an appeal against sentence only. The appellant was convicted for causing grievous harm and sentenced to three years imprisonment. The offence carries the maximum punishment of life imprisonment. The appellant offered no mitigation in the lower court below and admitted the facts in support of the charge to the effect that he was insulting customers in a hotel and a bit off the complainants ear when appellant was being escorted out. I agree with the trial magistrate’s observations that the complainant is disfigured for life. In the circumstances therefore I will not disburb the sentence and the appeal is dismissed. July 6, 1987 TORGBOR JUDGE
