- One month ago, 22-year-old Ann Makena embarked on her newfound freedom after she was released from prison. Makena who hails from Kiereni, Tharaka Nithi County was arrested in October last year for selling unlicensed products unknowingly at a Wines and Spirits shop in Chuka where she was employed.
Heartless magistrate, heartless police, heartless prosecutor.... heartless Judiciary. Think about this girl's mom. Poor woman's son is sick and then they've so casually jailed her daughter. To make matters even worse, the young man dies while the sister is languishing in prison. This is injustice practiced beyond imagination. Poor family!!
Heartless employer..
@@keziaominde9376 The employer is actually a government-aided criminal.
True, Very sad, Majority of cases should be reviewed, People suffer for crime they never committed
Failed state bro. The judge is an assaol too
Blame the employer not the judiciary,he is the one who would have come to her rescue
Why was this girl in jail? This is a case that she needs to be compensated for wrongful conviction!
How unfortunate! What kind of judge was that? He is very evil & wicked. Why NOT arrest the owner of the wines & spirits.
The owner of the wines and spirits did not bring illegal spirits to his premises. They were sneaked in by Makena. She used his premises to make money selling illegal spirits made and bottled in the Kariobangi light industry.
What if the judge is a woman..You already said 'he'
This is a good lesson to those who only think that whenever a person is taken to prison must be a bad person or somebody who has committed an offense
Haki only in Kenya.
tsad
w.u
But Kenyan authorities though ....I would want to know the kind of people who attended to these case
Nikuoe
The judge who ordered this girl to be jailed must be cursed

How comes the owner of the pub was not taken to court?And why didnt the employer pay for her the fine?Even the Magistrate should have saked her if she was the owner of the pub.The prosecuter and KRA took the wrong person to court.A good lawyer should take this matter to court for this lady to be companseted.That is very unfair.Human writes NGOs should take up the matter with the government.
my first question
This very unfair, which kind of system are we having,the owner would have carried the Budden
@@ralph839 The poor girl was arrested on the 4th day of her 1st employment. She was arraigned in court at most a day later and probably sentenced the same day. During her time in the dungeon, her brother died and she only came to realise it after her release. In this clip, she is trying hard to explain the unfolding of events as best she can. For you to accuse her of criminality is quite heartbreaking to say the least. Kindly listen carefully to the young girl's sad story without prejudice and since you have a mother, sister or daughter, withdraw your statement. I leave it to your discretion to do that.
Ngos are driving big cars in nyanza province sleeping with school girls misusing donor funds
If you see people out here, Know they are worse than animals
The owner of that business should compensate her. There is no way you can let someone who you just employed suffer like this because of your wickedness and just walk away like nothing has happened. And everyone involved in this case should also pay a price. .
Very well said.
True
That's true the poor young girl suffered a lot for an offence she didn't commit it's very sad May Almighty God see her through
The problem is with the justice system. Infact so many things are like that in this country..
What I'm wondering is who the hell sent her to jail. Why would you funga the attendant who's barely legal ata when the owner is just out there parambulating. Ata kama ni makosa, owner should serve a jail term and the girl a 3 month term or some kind of sensible fine. This justice system doesn't work for the poor
This is really sad. We have a failed judiciary and a failed criminal justice system. Almost 3/4 of inmates in our prisons today are innocent people who are unable to pay fines and bails.
Strongly agree
Mmmm
Sure.. This country is so confused.. They could get the owner
I hope some civil society will take up this matter. It is very unfair that a business owner would let someone suffer like this
Pole aki Kenya hakuna haki very sad story 😢
@@nishamoha8276 very very sad but how do this magistrates sleep at nyt. What was so hard asking for the owner of the business to be brought before court
So a jugde who studied law more than 7yrs n practised more than ten yrs would still make such decisions jailing a 3days employee coz of mistakes done by th employer, th jugde should hv asked th detectives is it her responsibility to out kebs stickers on products
So this girl is suffering when the king of corruptions are roaming the streets of Kenya with government stolen vehicles and daring the police to arrest him? Very unfair. I’d happily pay her fine for her and let her go and live her life
Very ironicall indeed
Why did you not go and pay the fine for her when she was in jail???
@@olivertimothy6067 unafikiria aje wewe???kwani did he know she was in jail.sote tumejua after hii news
I am really sorry for what this lady went through...Just heartbreaking but I admire her strength. May God keep you and strengthen you
In a moral society this strong woman would open this case and let the sentence rechecked and be paid for time waste
Yes please
Sad.... The pain she's gone through 😢
But even that,there's alot of Strength in her...
May God continue Strengthening you. You deserve the best. Such a beautiful young woman ❤️
The entire system betrayed this young lady... the govt, the judiciary, the employer.... I pray heaven smiles upon you dear
They should compensate this lady for wrong judgment. So unfair 😢
I simply can't listen to young girl's story to the end. How unfair could the judicial system be? Completely inhuman. Where is the Ombudsman of the Kenya's suffering masses? Women of Kenyan, please, asa Martha Karua & Raila are sworn in, please send a delegation to Martha & demand a re-look of the judicial system which is completely skewed against women. Fight for your rights. It's time.
So sad that Makena went through this while the owner was free.
The only problem we have in this country is judiciary, no justice at all, chitembwe is working freely yet he has huge cases behind him, thugs are in political class, yet the court has no capacity to jail. I admire Moi era. These judges would have been executed in the middle of nowwhere.
Kilunda pretends he doesn’t know Mwilu is hearing cases despite her tax evasion cases.Or may he gets some loot share chewues from her.
Kenya should introduce sentencing that leans on whether you're a first-time offender or not. This lady served time when she shouldn't have.
You're right... And although she's been released presumably after someone paid her fine, she will always remain in the records as having been convicted. That has lifelong repercussions. If, say, she wants to apply for a US or European visa, they will ask her if she has ever been convicted. Plus I guess no certificate of good conduct. etc etc
Am sorry for her this world is very cruel may his brother rest internal peace
Not world we have a stupid and unreliable body of justice
Very Sad - Terrible Justice System where those with nothing suffer
This was such a young lady only trying to make ends meet. 19 years of age yes is legal adult age but she was so naive and innocent and spent 3 years for something she did not do. I hope someone or the government has compassion and takes her to university. She at least deserves that. It is so pains me so much yet I don't even know her.
Where's Maendeleo ya Wanawake activists? Or they just appear only when a high profile person is involved?
Kenya's judiciary system needs to be changed in tremendous ways. Many innocent citizens are or have been convicted and served for crimes they didn't commit!! It's traumatizing! It's unfair and brutal for those innocent tax payers! But corruption is the root cause for all of the injustices! Even the Bible says, do not accuse anyone falsely! Whoever takes the next government, kindly think twice. Think twice about where we are failing, think twice about the flaws.
This is an indication on how our justice system needs reformation. I felt a deep pain the first time I listened to this story
May justice prevail on your behalf.
The system should be putting more effort into jailing corrupt officials.
This is depressing 😭🥺 she deserves justice ❤️
Very sad. May the brother's soul rest in eternal peace.
Am one of the victim can I get diz ppl
I am listening to your story while crying i went through this last week though i stayed in prison only one day but the tears i went through i can imagine am very sorry dear i saw the situation in their it's not good and i can not wish one to be there and if i would advise any young lady stay away from any liquor shop in court i saw many pple serving those case in court i was with one girl 25yrs old who worked in a liquor shop for just one month then when auditors came for their calculation she was reported for a short of 200k and in court she was to give out cash bail of 200k its not easy in court neither in prison.
Sorry my sister , prison is no place to be and more so if you are innocent. God be with you and may you be successful in life. Pole Sana kwa yote .
This is how this country operates. Many are suffering because of the failed judicial system!
Hopeless ...a total wasted system.. pathetic
Youths are suffering in silence. Why do this to a human being?? This is embarrassing
Is this the full interview?
This is unfair. The law of tort says that in a case of master-servant relationship, the two should be charged as one. It's the master to be held responsible. The magistrate was dubious in their judgement. Seek justice mrembo.
You were jailed for a crime you did not commit,coming home,you find your bro is no more.Mwachie Mungu kwani yeye ndo muweza wa yote.
ouch this is painful
Pole sana 😢 yangu girl God's grace 🙏 💖 all will be well 🙏
Am crying,I feel that pain,,,, sending hugs...but why???
Uko huku😊
Justice for makena plz chief Justice mama koome do something for this young little &innocent girl.
And that employer walks free, like she didn't do anything wrong?.
Its so sad that the good people have to pay the price for evil people. You will overcome it Makena.
How can one reach her out?
Try prison saga
So sad 😢😢 may God heal and comfort those who are suffering in silent
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭am the victim too
@@sirariantony4715 I don't know what you are going through but trust God everything will be okay
Why jail the employee????Where was the employer?
Many have suffered jail terms due to lack of fine cash,..a good thing she completed the term
She didn't. Well wishers paid the fine for her after 6 months
Justice for this lady
As much as we judge people,
The bible says God will bring judgement to all people
its such a shame that this is like a common thing in this country people having there lives stolen from them by others in power
I am very sorry for want you went through. May God wipe your tears and reward you with a better life.
Incompetence in our investigation institutions and corruption has made a lot of innocent people go through hell. That evil employee will never have peace.
God is good alimpigania aki,,, And Thnk u for those who take care of her case🙏🙏
How can someone reach out to her??
If this story is true, This is pure devilish!! The KRA, the prosecutor, the magistrate, the OWNER OF THE BAR! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!
They should have arrested the owner.
The prosecution, the defense and the judge can't altogether agree on this mistake unless she didn't go through the Court. If it's true as explains, then we don't have criminal justice system but butcher- Only - the - innocent paupers Justice system. What a pain!!
Most of the Innocent jailed are those who can't afford a lawyer,
so not even cash bail
Why arrest the employee instead of looking for the employer,Justice system of Kenya is f*ckd up
Hakuna. That girl is very "clever".
This little needs to be compensation from the government
Ooh sorry for what you gone through
Sad 😢, God bless you strong lady .
So painful😥😥😥,so sorry sister
Imagine umalize form 4 usake hustle ya kuuza kwa duka unalipwa 5k, KRA wakukamate na CID juu sigara unauza ni counterfeit.
Sigara si yako, duka si yako, you had no way of knowing this thing is counterfeit... but jail term inakungoja 3 years. What kind of country do we live in?!
God will pay you 100 fold for the lost days and pain
Our broken justice system in action.
Am so sorry Dear!Can the Interior Ministry help this young girl get justice?What kind of a country and judicial system is this!Where is the owner of that so called business???And the judge who sentenced this innocent girl MUST also be put to trial,very incompetent!!!!
Owner should have faced the wrath from the goverment and not her.Its so unfortunate.Seems like there are so many innocent people facing the same.
This just made me shade tears 😭
So sad. Pole sana
How is the case??
Pole Makena
But in fullness of time, the owner of that pub will pay dearly for the misery he caused you. Take heart.
Was the owner of the business arrested?was he/she taken to court? which prison is he/she in?what fine did he/she pay?
There are lots of people suffering in silence, there are lots need to be done to our judiciary. One doesn't need a lawyer for the magistrate to know they are innocent. She was an employee.....not employer....
Kenya's sentencing guidelines do not make any sense. Three years for something that small amounts to cruelty. We urgently need sentencing reforms.
this is a travesty of justice
I feel your pain. I wish I knew of thsi case I'd bail you out immediately. The media needs to highlight such cases more
Wishing makena good days ahead.
All will be fine gal it's a gut feeling I have after your story.
heart breaking
Our justice system is rotten..so sad 😔.. what she went through.
It is heartening
Damn! Kenya Justice system needs an intense revamp! What a great injustice,😢😢😢!
Believe me no evil done under the sun goes scot-free, Vengeance is for God. Everyone that was involved 1year from now, They will loose more than the 3yrs a innocent girl passed through, We serve a God of Justice. Karma is real.
I once treated someone bad, with arrogance, I never cared Even to apologize. A year later, my life started taking a turn of disappointments and closed doors. I put my pride and ego aside, I humbly went back to everyone I wronged and apologized. If his Excellency the DP President RUTO can say SORRY, Pride comes b4 a fall. Wise and God fearing people say SORRY..
Im so sorry
Sad and very unfortunate.
I do enforcement of laws pertaining alcohol but never should you charge an employee find the owner
The owner or the one who's name is on the premit or employees, what's the law on this
Speachless,
Pole sana dia mungu yuko
Pole sana dada.
Pole sana binti. We have a broken justice system and a failed judiciary. Such cases should not happen at all. If her father or mother was a senior government official or a drug dealer, she could have, most probably, not have spent a night in jail.
I remember I was also arrested in almost the same circumstances by the KRA officials. But my employer was good enough to bail me out. My experience though at the cell was so traumatizing. We need to change the laws, for us employee not just to be treated as bait.
I'm still surprised how even her friends and colleagues could not contribute the 100k. They all betrayed her
Wenye heroin na cocain wako tu mtaa pengine kwa puge na kwa law enforcement department.
Pombe with legal kra stamps is expensive,Which ones is available has very little profit which can not stand the business.
And also is slow moving thus lowering business speed.
The fast moving is the 2nd generation Pombe. It moves very quickly thus moving business quickly too.
All troubles are caused by the government. In all sectors.
Waoo glad she's out❤️😊
May God bless you girl uko mrembo sana
This is depressing and sad,, 💔
I really wonder if CITIZENTV tries to help such people by fighting for them for wrongful conviction
Whats her name
Three years!?.all the heartless people involved should rot in hell. sad
Pole sana 😢 God will uplift your life
How sad, truly no justice in Kenya
I wished i was a lawyer.this could be a perfect appeal probono for justice
