APPLICANT AND REPUBLIC ............................................................................................ RESPONDENT RULING 1. The applicant was charged and convicted for the offence of grievous harm contrary to section 234 of the Penal Code. He was sentenced to serve six years imprisonment. He has filed the present application seeking revision of sentence. 2. The grounds raised are that the court he is left with one year and ten months to serve. Since his incarceration, he has reformed. He is remorseful and has rehabilitated. He prayed for a non-custodial sentence. 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, I note that before sentencing, the trial court called for and considered the pre-sentencing report. 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. Orders accordingly RULING DATED AND DELIVERED VIRTUALLY THIS 23RD DAY OF APRIL 2026 ...................... D. KAVEDZA https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/5196/eng@2026-04-23 1
