Mr. Maina asked for forgiveness, saying that he will never repeat the offense.
“Your honor, ni damu ilichemka na singejizuia. Alafu mimi na Joyce hatukuwa tumepatana kwa muda. Sasa vile tulimeet, tukajipata, haiya tushamaliza na watu wanatuangalia. Ndio senses zikarudi,” he said.
(Your honour, our blood got hot and we could not control ourselves. Me and Joyce have not met for a while and when we met, we found ourselves in the act.)
City Court Chief Magistrate Roseline Ong’ayo said engaging in sex at the park is against county by-laws.The magistrate warned him not to repeat the offense.
