Francis (Aoko) s/o Oyengo v. R. Crim. App. 348-M-67, -/8/67, Cross J..
Accused was convicted of cattle theft and was ordered to pay one cow to complainant as compensation.
Held: Section 6(1) of the Minimum Sentence Act provides that he court shall, upon convicting a person of a scheduled offence, order the convicted person to pay the owner of the property compensation equal to the value of the property lost. Section 6(2) provides that compensation ordered under subsection (1) shall be recoverable as if it were a civil debt. This provision restricts recovery to a sum of money and does not allow payment in kind. Sentence was substituted ordering accused to pay Shs. 100/- to complainant for the loss of the cow.
