R. v. Chrisant Kalo, (PC) Crim. Rev. 3-D-67; 3/7/67; Saidi, J.
Accused was convicted of criminal trespass and stealing, for which he received concurrent sentences of 18 months and 12 months respectively. The value of the articles stolen was Shs. 13/50.
Held: (1) The sentence for criminal trespass is illegal because the maximum period of imprisonment allowed by law for this offence is 12 months. In view of the small amount involved, sentence was reduced from 18 months to 6 months on this count. A sentence must bear proper relation to the intrinsic gravity of the offence committed. Citing Hamisi bin Bakari, I.T.L. 200. (2) For the same reasons, the sentence for stealing was reduced to 3 months, sentences to run concurrently.
