sentencing especially section 311 (2),(1) of Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 in lieu of imprisonment. The custodian sentence will not serve the interest of justice and I urge the Court not to award it. The 1st convict is a 1st offender and he has displayed good conduct throughout the entire proceedings. He has always attended Court. The 1st Convict is the bread winner of his family and if sent to prison, it would have adverse effect on his family. Secondly, I refer the Court to section 416 (2) (b) (f) and (g) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 which enjoins the Honourable Court not to impose a maximum sentence on a 1st offender. I therefore urge the Court to use its discretion judiciously and temper justice with mercy as the aim of sentencing is for correction and deterrent. Emmanuel:- On behalf of the 2nd convict I prayed the Court that sequel to section 311 (1) and (2) (c) of Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 prayed the Court in passing sentence, to consider a non custodian sentence on the 2nd convict. The 2nd convict is a man of integrity and he served this country well before his retirement. The 2nd convict is a family man with so many dependants on him. And as he stands right now, he is alone because he lost his spouse (wife) who is a supporter of the 2nd convict. As presently, the 2nd convict is right now battling with a life threaten ailment, that requires medical attention every week. If the 2nd convict is incarcerated, we are afraid he would not be able to meet with the required medical needs from the prison authorities. The 59
