But Amnesty International intervened to criticise the punishment.
“We are concerned that Kenya continues to use this cruel, inhumane and outdated mode of punishment,” director Irungu Houghton said in a statement. “This sentence is a blow to Kenya’s progressive record in commuting death sentences to terms of imprisonment.”
He added there was no credible evidence the death penalty deters crime better than other punishments and asked the courts to rehabilitate Kamande instead.
Her lawyer Joyner Okonjo said she would appeal the sentence but, if carried out, it would be the first state execution in the country since 1987.
