MAURICE RABONG’O OLOO…………………………...APPELLANT VERSUS REPUBLIC ……………………………………………….RESPONDENT JUDGMENT 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. V.V. PATEL JUDGE 15/2/2002
