Kenya's justice system has been left questioning the decision to bring a group of visibly intoxicated suspects to court on August 15, 2019.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspects were taken to the Kibera court after being arrested at a local bar. However, their inebriated state made it difficult for them to respond to the charges against them.
The incident has sparked debate about the effectiveness of the justice system in handling cases involving intoxicated individuals. Under Kenyan law, suspects can be detained for up to 24 hours before being charged, which raises questions about the timing of the court appearance.
As the debate continues, many are left wondering whether the decision to bring the suspects to court while intoxicated was a wise one.
