Just In: Celebrity Inspekta Mwala Gets Away With a One Year Sentence For Causing Death by Dangerous Driving

Radio Citizen presenter and popular actor Davis Mwabili aka Inspekta Mwala was on Thursday sentenced to 1 year in jail or pay a Sh 30,000 fine. This was after he was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving. The ruling was made by Mariakani senior principal magistrate Nelly Adalo.

“The offence of causing death by dangerous driving is not an ordinary offence. The people that commit this offence do not have a propensity for it, neither is it a crime committed for revenge, gain, lust or to emulate other criminals. In those circumstances, the accused is sentenced to pay a fine of Sh30, 000 in default, serve 1-year imprisonment,” Adalo ruled.

Inspekta Mwala did however apologize to the family of the deceased, Ismael, in his mitigation. “I am very sorry. I also ask for forgiveness from the family of the deceased. I had not planned to cause the accident. I had no intention to kill, save that an accident occurred and I cannot have left where I was to go and cause the accident,” Mwala said.

The actor is definitely capable of buying his way out of jail by paying the Sh. 30,000. From reactions on social media, Kenyans are quite dissatisfied with the ruling. Either way, case closed.
