AKASHA CASE WITHDRAWN - PUNJANI CASE TO GO FORWARD
A Mombasa court has withdrawn a case against two sons of slain drug baron Ibrahim Akasha and an Indian national.
Baktash Akasha, Ibrahim Akasha and Mr Vijaygiri Goswami had been charged with fighting in public.
Senior Principal Magistrate Henry Nyakweba withdrew the charges following an application by Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Alexander Muteti.
The accused, together with Mr Gulam Hussein, were extradited to the United States in January for trial over narcotic trafficking offences.
The withdrawal of the charges under Section 87(a) of the Criminal Procedure Code means the accused can be re-arrested and charged afresh.
However, similar charges against Abdulsalam Akasha, who was charged with his brothers, will proceed, Mr Muteti told the court.
Prosecution intends to consolidate Mr Abdulsalamâs case with that of Mombasa tycoon Ali Punjani, who is facing similar charges.
Mr Punjani appeared in court for the mention of the case on Thursday.
Charged for fighting in public YET mega thieves are walking around in the city and youâll never read an update about them. . . . .judges wako na bidii ya petty offences.
Of course. We are entirely to blame. Our culture of âwacha tuâ. And middle class and rich buy their way around inconveniences . Kama hamna maji, delievered privately, hongo so that you are not taken to central police station for a traffic violation , etc
The poor are the majority in this country. If they knew who their real enemy was then all these problems would go away. The middle class are inconsequential. All that matters is rich vs poor.
hehehe hii story inanikumbusha closing days in primary school , kama mulikosana munaenda nyuma ya classes before a crowd na kumaliza kimwanaume . kuna time nilipiga jama fulani mfupi ali bleed sana .
The poor are also not innocent bystanders. They provide mobs that engage in looting during political campaigns. They also donât want to change with the times.
We should accept and move on this whole issue of âclassâ. In kenya we have the rich and poor. The so called âmiddle classâ are just a bunch of poor people ridden in debt just trying to prove they ainât poor or fit in certain cliques. SV OUT!!!
