ORDER ON REVISION

1. I have examined the trial court record.  

2. The convict herein, KENNETH MWIRIGI was on 15.08.19 sentenced to fifteen (15) months imprisonment for the offence of stealing contrary to Section 268(1) & 275 of the Penal Code. 

3. Despite the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis in our country, I am not satisfied that this is a suitable case for interference with the sentence by this court in exercise of its revisionary powers.  

4. The request for revision of sentence is therefore dismissed.  It is so ordered.
