Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the sentence imposed on the applicant upon conviction for destroying cultivated produce should be revised.

Ratio Decidendi

The court found no reason to interfere with the sentence imposed on the applicant, who was convicted on his own plea of guilty for destroying cultivated produce. The applicant declined to be interviewed and did not provide any grounds for revision. The sentence of a fine of Ksh 200,000 or, in default, three years imprisonment, was within the law and not manifestly excessive or illegal. Therefore, the court left the sentence undisturbed.

Court Disposition

Application for revision dismissed. Sentence left undisturbed.

Orders

  • The sentence imposed on the applicant is left undisturbed.
  • No further orders are made.
