Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie, has been transferred from Kamiti Prison to Manyani Prison, where he is being held on charges of murdering businesswoman Monica Kimani.
Published on December 9, 2019, at 4:37 PM.
Monica Kimani was found dead in her apartment in Kileleshwa on September 19, 2018. Jowie was the last person to be seen with her before her body was discovered.
According to eyewitnesses, Jowie was seen with Kimani on the night of her murder, and he was later arrested and charged with her murder.
During his time in Kamiti Prison, Jowie has been complaining about the harsh conditions and has been seeking to be transferred to a different prison. His mother has been advocating for his release, citing the harsh conditions in Kamiti Prison.
However, the authorities have denied any wrongdoing and have stated that Jowie is being held in a separate cell due to his high profile status.
It is worth noting that Jowie's transfer to Manyani Prison has sparked controversy, with some questioning the decision to transfer him to a prison that is known for its harsh conditions.
Manyani Prison is located in Voi, Taita Taveta County, and is known for its strict rules and harsh conditions. Jowie's transfer to this prison has raised concerns about his safety and well-being.
It is unclear what the future holds for Jowie, but one thing is certain - he will continue to face the charges against him and will have to navigate the complexities of the Kenyan justice system.
As the case against Jowie continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how the authorities handle the situation and what the outcome will be.
