Motorist Gets Ksh 200,000 Back After Court Rules “Careless Driving” Is Not a Crime

A motorist fined Ksh200,000 for careless driving has won his appeal at the High Court after the court found that the offense he was charged with no longer exists under Kenyan law. In a judgment delivered at the High Court in Isiolo, the judge overruled the conviction of Daniel Mwangi Munyaka and ordered that the Ksh200,000 fine he had paid be refunded. The court ruled that the traffic offense of “careless driving” ended after amendments to the Traffic Act, meaning it could not support a criminal conviction. “The appellant was convicted for an offense that is not known in law,” The post Motorist Gets Ksh 200,000 Back After Court Rules “Careless Driving” Is Not a Crime appeared first on Nairobi Wire .
