APPLICANT AND REPUBLIC ............................................................................................ RESPONDENT RULING 1. The applicant Gideon Kipkorir Rono was charged and after a full trial convicted for the offence of committing an indecent act with a child contrary to section 11(1) of the Sexual Offences Act, No. 3 of 2006. He was sentenced to serve ten (10) years imprisonment. His appeal before this court was dismissed on 11th March 2025. 2. He has filed the present application undated received on 14th November 2025 seeking revision of sentence. The grounds raised are that the court failed to consider the time spent in remand custody. 3. I have considered the application, the grounds in support and the applicable law. From the record of the trial court, the court considered the applicant’s mitigation, the time spent in remand custody and the fact that the applicant was a first offender before sentencing. Having considered the application in its totality. The sentence imposed was also legal in the circumstances of the case. 4. In my view I find no good cause or reason to revise the sentence imposed by the trial court. The application dismissed. RULING DATED AND DELIVERED VIRTUALLY THIS 18TH DAY OF DECEMBER 2025 D.
