I actually feel sorry that the guy had to steal charcoal. It’s a sad state of affairs. There may be mitigating circumstances.

you must be very dull with justice and law. A lot of such similar cases happen everywhere in the world including USA and UK. Just never steal anything wherever you are. I feel sorry for you to have such a lame mind, pretty sure a lot people complain about around your ‘cast’.

What a sad state of affairs. over charcoal. most probably that is illegal charcoal. no permit from forestry dept. truly we have a wasted system.
if you steal billions, out on bail, charcoal, sentence awaits. who needs this reform. found wanting. hunger May have been the cause, create jobs you will have less thefts.

@Phiri you must have bumped your head to everything senseless while you where young…look at the level of crime in our country and the magnitude of a particular law broken…sometimes mwachayako analyze vintu vinangu not just yeping your mouth over nonse..the more the petty criminals stick in jail the longer trials take to be heard the more the judicial service is seen not to function…that guy shud have been fined..wa 2billion ali panja wa 40pin ali mukati.

@Phiri, kanshi kuchipata abamano taaapwa? Theft is theft, period. Thieves like Austine Liato start with a cob of maize then they graduate to burrying K2m without a burial permit. let him rot in jail.

So for you theft of charcoal is petty because you feel charcoal isn’t as valuable as an ipad! You get so brainwashed with stoopid spectating of Western stuff your values and virtues dissipate. Theft is theft whether you steal underwear or you steal a Mercedes Benz

judges please stop congesting our jails with petty issues..that guy should have been fined or given community service instead of prison…i think you acted contrary to your own penal code. Analyze
