KENNEDY OUMA ONYANGO VS The Republic

High Court at Siaya High Court · · R. E. Aburili

1. The Applicant Kennedy Ouma Onyango was convicted vide Bondo SPM Cr. E109/2020 for arson contrary to Section 332(a) of the Penal Code and sentenced to serve ten years imprisonment concurrent sentence as there were other counts of malicious damage to property.
2. In his application dated 20/2/2024, he seeks for sentence review because he has reformed and rehabilitated and has a family depending on him. 
3. I have considered the application, grounds and supporting affidavit, I am unable to find any irregularity, impropriety or unlawfulness in the sentence imposed.  Arson carries up to life imprisonment.  Ten years imprisonment was too lenient.
4. I decline to revise the lawful lenient sentence imposed and dismiss the application for sentence revision dated 20/2/2024.
5. Signal to issue.
