A 30-year-old man was yesterday jailed for nine years by a Mpeketoni court after he was found guilty of stealing food worth Sh9,775 from his employer.
Mpeketoni Resident Magistrate Pascal Nabwana sentenced Seth Hamara Eliza after the probation officer Tashrifa Mohamed gave an unfavourable report about Mr Eliza.
The officer reported that Eliza absconded community social work in a previous conviction for house breaking in March this year and that he was a repeat offender.
