Petition for Resentencing (name not stated in the judgment excerpt)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT VOI HCCPET NO 23 OF 2019 JIMMY MASILA KITEMA.................PETITIONER VERSUS REPUBLIC......................................RESPONDENT JUDGMENT I have considered submissions herein. The resentencing is now as matter of constitutional right, pursuant to Muruatetu case. In considering the period, this court note that robbery with violence is a serious offence which must be deterred. I have noted that the Petitioner did not injure anybody, but he stole a motor cycle and money. I am persuaded that in the circumstance a jail term of twelve (12) years is sufficient. The Petitioner is hereby jailed to serve a term of 12 years from the date of arrest. E.OGOLA-JUDGE 22/10/2020
