Willy Mutunga does it AGAIN


Friday August 3, 2012- Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has released 137 petty offenders from the Kodiaga Prison in Kisumu County.

Mutunga who was visiting the facility on Thursday, granted orders to Justice Fred Ochieng to go through the files of 256 offenders and release 137 offenders.

“I approved 137 files out of which 20 cases will be pardoned under the community service order or the probation,” Justice Ochieng said.

Some of the 137 inmates released were serving time for petty offences, that include possession of bhang and selling illicit brew.

“We want you to follow the law and to foster peace so that you don’t find yourselves behind the bars again,” Mutunga said.

The CJ said the government will furnish the prison with law books to equip inmates with law knowledge.
