- Let Alvin Linus Chivondo be released unconditionally, says Raila
Magistrate Vincent Adet made history by holding a fundraiser within the court room to assist the couple by basic needs for their three children even after pleading guilty to the charges.
He however warned them against repeating the same mistake taking into consideration that they truly relied on menial jobs for survival.
Both Saumu Ali and her husband Evans Odhiambo were arrested after stealing a bale of wheat floor in Mombasa in what the wife termed as desperate measures to fend for their children.
