On his own plea of guilty to possessing 25 drums of ethanol, Kibera Law Courts Senior Resident Magistrate Charles Mwaniki sentenced Joseph Mwangi, 32, to a one-year prison term or the option of paying a Ksh. 250,000 fine.
“The drums that were full to the brim with the chemical compound, had been carefully loaded into a lorry that he was driving and concealed using 50 sacks of maize, to create a false impression that he was transporting maize. However, detectives working on a tip-off intercepted the lorry in Ruaka, Kiambu County,” said the DCI.
