REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT KIBERA CRIMINAL REVISION NO. E068 OF 2026 PETER OMWANGALA ATEPE..…..……………..……………… APPLICANT VERSUS REPUBLIC…………………………………………..…….. …...RESPONDENT RULING. 1. The applicant was charged with three counts comprising two counts of forgery of an official document contrary to section 351 of the Penal Code and one count of export of wildlife products contrary to section 99(1) as read with section 99(3)(b) of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013. He was sentenced to two (2) years’ imprisonment on Counts I and II, and five (5) years’ imprisonment on Count III, the sentences to run concurrently. 2. The applicant filed the present application seeking review of sentence on the grounds that he has undergone rehabilitation and should be allowed to serve the remainder of the sentence under a Community Service Order or probation supervision. 3. I have considered the application, the grounds in support thereof, and the applicable law. The trial court record shows that, in sentencing, the court considered the applicant’s mitigation, the period spent in remand custody, and the fact that he was a first offender. The sentence imposed was lawful, proportionate, and within the prescribed statutory limits. 4. Accordingly, I find no basis to interfere with the sentence imposed. The application lacks merit and is hereby dismissed. 5. Orders accordingly. Page 1 of 2
