APPLICANT AND REPUBLIC ............................................................................................ RESPONDENT RULING 1. The application by the applicant under Section 333 of the CPC has no merit. He seeks to have this court review the orders of a judge who was at the time of sentencing exercising concurrent jurisdiction of this court and reduced sentence to 10 years imprisonment from the original sentence of 20 years. 2. It is the view of this court that the High Court having reviewed. the applicant’s sentence from 20 years to 10 years, this court has no jurisdiction to entertain the present application. 3. This is not the proper forum for questioning the exercise of discretion by a judge of concurrent jurisdiction. 4. The applicant could only escalate the matter to the Court of Appeal if he so desired. 5. The application is therefore struck out for want of jurisdiction. It is so ordered. DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED IN VIRTUAL COURT at NAIROBI this 25TH day of NOVEMBER, 2024. A. M. MUTETI JUDGE In the presence of: https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2024/16567/eng@2024-11-25 1
