ORDER ON REVISION

1.  I have examined the trial court record.  

2. The convict herein, LABAN MUTETHIA  was on 27.12.2019 sentenced to one (1) year imprisonment for the offence of Assault causing actual bodily harm contrary to Section 251 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.
