JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
SOLOMON OTIENO ODONDI, the appellant, was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. His first appeal to the High Court of Kenya at Kisii was dismissed on 14th March, 2003. This is a second appeal.
The appellant’s only ground of appeal is that the sentence imposed upon him by the trial court was harsh and manifestly excessive and urges us to reduce it or place him on probation.
Under section 361 (1) (a) of the Criminal Procedure Code, no appeal lies to the Court of Appeal in a second appeal on a matter of severity of sentence; and consequently, this appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed.
Dated and delivered at Kisumu this 22nd day of November, 2004.
