REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NANYUKI CRIMINAL REVISION NO.119 OF 2020 (From Original Conviction and Sentence in Nanyuki Criminal Case No.438 of 2020) SILAS MURIITHI.......................................................................................APPLICANT VERSUS REPUBLIC................................................................................................RESPONDENT 13/07/2020 Coram: Before Waweru, J (In chambers) ORDER IN REVISION 1. At the request of the convict herein, SILAS MURIITHI, I have called for and examined the record of the trial court in respect to the sentence. 2. The convict was convicted upon his own plea of illegal cutting and removal of forest produce S/C 64(1) & (2) of the Forest Conservation and Management Act, No.3 of 2016. On 14/05/2020 the convict was sentenced to a fine of Kshs.20,000/00 and in default of payment to serve six (6) months imprisonment. He did not pay the fine and is serving the default sentence. 3. Considering the seriousness of the offence, I will only slightly reduce the default sentence to enable the convict to go home earlier than he otherwise would in these Coronavirus (COVID-19) times. The application or revision is therefore refused. It is so ordered. 4. I will set aside the default sentence of six (6) months imprisonment and substitute four (4) months imprisonment. 5. To that limited extent only is the sentence interfered with. It is so ordered. GIVEN under my hand and seal of this Honourable Court this 13th day of July 2020 H.P.G. WAWERU JUDGE. ISSUED at NANYUKI this 14th day of July 2020. DEPUTY REGISTRAR NANYUKI HIGH COURT
