A city magistrate left his court in
stitches after he jokingly said he could give two accused women Sh20 each to
solve their case.
The magistrate later dismissed the
case involving the two women who fought over Sh20 chips citing ‘insufficient
witnesses’.
The accused, Christine Kayobi and
Ann Awino, (pictured) allegedly fought in public in Makadara on February 12,
2014.
According to police, Awino had gone
to buy chips at a stall operated by Christine’s mother.
She allegedly took Sh20
chips and promised to pay the following day, but failed to do so, leading to a
confrontation with Kayobi the following day.
The prosecution said the two engaged
in a lengthy fight.
The women pleaded with the magistrate saying they had
resolved the matter. The magistrate released them with a stern warning:
“This was a simple case, and I can even give
each of you Sh20. But since you say you have forgiven each other, I am
releasing you for now, unless witnesses come forward to testify.”
