Unfair Justice? New Twist In The Case Of Over 200 Kids Arrested Drinking In A Nairobi Bar During the Day
Remember the new age kids nabbed drinking and dancing in Jerry City Hotel and Bar on Dubois Road during Mashujaa Day? There is a new twist to their case.
Over 200 minors diverted the attention of the country away from Mashujaa Day celebrations when police busted them drinking liquor at a bar.
While initially we all thought the kids were to carry their own crosses, things changed last Monday when children’s officer at the Milimani Law Courts dropped the bomb.
The officer said the minors’ parents will be taking the bullet on their behalf. The parents of the over 200 kids arrested drinking in Jerry City Hotel and Bar will be charged for child neglect.
If found guilty, caregivers could spend 1-3 years behind bars. The Children’s officer said it was up to the court to decide whether to send them to jail or recommend probation.
Parents signed a personal bond of Kes 150,000 before their spoilt children could be released to them.
