In an emotional interview with <strong data-start=\"362\" data-end=\"393\">Citizen TV\u2019s Ayub Abdikadir<\/strong> on <em data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"406\">JK Live<\/em>, Munyakho recounted the dispute with a Yemeni colleague, <strong data-start=\"464\" data-end=\"479\">Abdul Halim<\/strong>, that escalated fatally and led to his incarceration and near execution.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"557\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"559\" data-end=\"592\">A Salary Dispute Turns Deadly<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"812\">Munyakho explained that the conflict started with a <strong data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"683\">disagreement over salary payments<\/strong>. On the day of the incident, he intended to collect his wages, but Abdul Halim allegedly refused to let him leave the premises.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"1071\">\u201cIt was a salary-related dispute,\u201d Munyakho explained. \u201cI was supposed to go and collect my salary, but he was not willing to let me go. I ended up getting angry. Then, he used words that were not very good, and I couldn\u2019t take them. So we started a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1076\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1119\">The Fight and Its Deadly Consequences<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1347\">According to Munyakho, the situation quickly escalated into physical violence. He stated that <strong data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1267\">Abdul Halim was the first to initiate the attack<\/strong>, stabbing him in the hand and thigh with a knife commonly used in their office.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1631\">Bleeding profusely, Munyakho was rushed to the hospital where doctors told him he <strong data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1450\">barely survived<\/strong>. \u201cI lost a lot of blood. I was given two pints of glucose in just seven minutes between our residence and the hospital. They said if I had delayed, I would have died,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1633\" data-end=\"1806\">The weapon, a knife allegedly belonging to Abdul Halim, was typically used for office tasks, though a security guard later testified to having seen Halim wield it regularly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1976\">After being attacked, Munyakho claims he <strong data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"1896\">grabbed the same knife and used it on Halim<\/strong>, who suffered a stab wound to the chest. Halim later succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"1981\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1983\" data-end=\"2029\">\u201cI Couldn\u2019t Believe It\u201d: Munyakho Reflects<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2031\" data-end=\"2292\">Munyakho expressed <strong data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2079\">deep regret and disbelief<\/strong> upon learning that Abdul Halim had died. \u201cWhen they told me Halim had passed on, I could not believe it. I was like\u2014how? Me? No,\u201d he said. Reflecting on his actions, he admitted, \u201cI lacked patience at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2297\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2299\" data-end=\"2347\">The Aftermath: Conviction and Death Sentence<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2349\" data-end=\"2650\">Munyakho was convicted of <strong data-start=\"2375\" data-end=\"2408\">murder and sentenced to death<\/strong> under Saudi Arabia\u2019s strict legal system. For <strong data-start=\"2455\" data-end=\"2472\">over 14 years<\/strong>, he lived under the threat of execution. His case drew attention from human rights advocates, his family, and the <strong data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2608\">Kenyan government<\/strong>, who appealed for clemency on his behalf.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"2928\">One path to possible release involved <strong data-start=\"2690\" data-end=\"2707\">\u201cblood money\u201d<\/strong>\u2014a legal provision under Islamic law that allows for compensation to the victim\u2019s family in exchange for a pardon.
