On August 29, 2019, a bizarre incident occurred at Strathmore University in Nairobi's Lang'ata sub-county. Bernard Kibet, a man accused of stealing, was arraigned in court last week.
According to the complaint filed by Strathmore's security controller, Christian Angwenyi, Kibet stole three rolls of toilet paper valued at Sh300. The incident led to Kibet's arrest and subsequent arraignment.
During the court proceedings, Kibet admitted to committing the offense but claimed he was unaware that taking the toilet paper was a crime.
Chief Magistrate Joyce Gandani fined Kibet Sh5,000 or sentenced him to a month in jail.
