Peter Ewoi v Republic

Ewoi v Republic (Criminal Revision E090 of 2025) [2025] KEHC 16325 (KLR) (12 November 2025) (Ruling) Neutral citation: [2025] KEHC 16325 (KLR) REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT AT NAKURU CRIMINAL REVISION E090 OF 2025 HI ONG'UDI, J NOVEMBER 12, 2025 BETWEEN PETER EWOI ............................................................................................ APPLICANT AND REPUBLIC ............................................................................................ RESPONDENT RULING 1. Peter Ewoi the applicant herein was charged and convicted on two counts under the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act. The record shows he was fined Ksh 200,000/= in default two (2) years imprisonment. He has applied for review of sentence. 2. It is not clear on which count he was sentenced and what happened to the sentence (if any) on the other count. 3. That is an outright error on the face of the record. I therefore set aside the sentence awarded, and will sentence the applicant afresh. 4. The applicant was arrested on 5th June, 2025 and first arraigned in court on 9th June, 2025. He was convicted and sentenced on 26th June, 2025. He has therefore served four (4) months plus 16 days in prison. 5. The age assessment conducted by Dr. Kalande of Nakuru Referral and Teaching Hospital on 24th June, 2025 shows that the applicant is 19 years old. He is therefore a very young adult. I find the period already served to be sufficient punishment for him. 6. I therefore sentence him to four and a half (4½) months imprisonment on each count and the sentences to run concurrently. The applicant has already served that sentence and he will therefore be released unless otherwise lawfully held under a separate warrant. 7. Orders accordingly https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2025/16325/eng@2025-11-12 1
