REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT SIAYA MISC. CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. E108 OF 2021 CORAM: R.E. ABURILI, J DAVID OOKO MADOO............................................................................................APPLICANT VERSUS REPUBLIC.............................................................................................................RESPONDENT (Being an Application arising from conviction and sentence of the Principal Magistrate’s court at Siaya in Criminal Case No. 51 of 2019) RULING 1. The applicant David Ooko Madoo was convicted of the offence of defilement contrary to Section 8(1)(3) of the Sexual Offences Act and sentenced to serve 10 years imprisonment on 6/2/2020. He now applies for sentence reduction stating that he is reformed and has learnt from his past mistakes. 2. I have considered the application and grounds. I find no merit in the application as this Court is not vested with jurisdiction to merely reduce sentence which is lawfully imposed and where proceedings are regular and proper in such a serious offence. 3. I find no merit in the application. I decline it and dismiss it. 4. File closed. DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED AT SIAYA THIS 16TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2021 R.E. ABURILI JUDGE
