Joseph Mwangi, the 32-year-old man who was recently arrested for being in possession of uncustomed ethanol, has been sentenced to one year in jail.
Mwangi pleaded guilty to the offense at the Kibera Law Courts hence the fast sentencing.


In a ruling delivered by Senior Resident Magistrate Charles Mwaniki on Thursday, the accused was given an option of a paying Sh250,000 fine or serve the jail term.


Mwangi was found carrying 25 drums of ethanol in a lorry that he was driving.

The lorry was intercepted in Ruaka, Kiambu County, by detectives from the Special Service Unit who had been tipped off.


According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the drums that were full to the brim with the chemical compound, had been concealed using 50 sacks of maize, to create a false impression that he was transporting maize.
In his ruling, the magistrate ordered that the 5,000 litres of ethanol be forfeited to the state, through the Kenya Revenue Authority who shall be at liberty to dispose it and recover the unpaid taxes.

“We congratulate the court for the fast and judicious judgment since the ethanol could also go a along way in making the government free sanitizers,” DCI said in a statement on Friday.
The impounded lorry, DCI said, shall be released to its owner and the maize given to the accused.

The prosecution are also comfortable with the sentence and are not appealing, hii Kenya waja kila mtu akule mahali anaweza.

Back in the years when I was growing up, I used to hear this narrative that mtu akiiba pesa nyingi anapewa light punishment ili arudi back in the hood arudishe ile pesa kwa circulation haraka iwezekanavyo. True or false?

 

[Field Marshal]

Before I call you all bonoboz, @Pamba 1 please bring up the correct Act under which Mwangi was sentenced. What is the maximum sentence and what is the minimum?

We can then make our informed comment, otherwise ingine ni mucenee................

Kwa maoni yako unaona afungwe miaka ngapi?

 

[Ssabasajja]

Ethanol inakaziwa sana huku vumbistan

Much longer because my opinion is that one year is too little for the crimes of evading tax, trafficking of illegal cargo and possession. The fact that he had concealed proves he knew what he was doing was illegal.

And what does the law say about that? You think the judge pulled the sentence from his ass and slapped it on the brother?

Give me time to consult my books but from i still insist that was very lenient bearing in mind the effects of ethanol in the society if it's misused.

 

[Mwalimu-G]

You think the judge pulled the sentence from his ass and slapped it on the brother?

I don't know no law but this part here is you pulling it out of your own ass.
You asked for my opinion. I gave it to you.

How then were you able to tell that it was a slap on the wrist now that hujui sheria inasema nini?

What the heck! Are you slow? What part of IT IS MY OPINION don't you understand?

So we should disregard the law for your opinion?

 

[Mwalimu-G]

Who said that now? Mbona huulizi @Pamba 1 these same questions and he's of the same opinion that the sentence was lenient?
If you opine that a certain girl is beautiful have you said that she should be disfigured so she's less beautiful? Nini mbaya na wewe?
