APPLICANT AND REPUBLIC ............................................................................................ RESPONDENT RULING 1. I have considered the Probation oficer’s report filed herein as ordered by the court. I also note that, although the applicant’s sentence is lawful, the applicant is a first offender. The sheep he stole was recovered. It was valued at Kshs 13,000. He has been in custody for 8 months. In my opinion the applicant has learnt his lesson. I therefore direct that, the applicant be released on probationary services for a period of two (2) years from the date of this order. If he commits any other offence while on probation, he shall serve the remaining period in custody. It is so ordered. DATED, DELIVERED AND SIGNED THIS 28TH FEBRUARY, 2023 GRACE L.
