As Kenyans continue to ponder what awaits 37-year-old Margaret Nduta, another Kenyan woman has been sentenced to serve 50 years in jail for drug trafficking. The 55-year-old woman was sentenced to serve 50 years in jail for trafficking 3.9 Kg of heroin by a Busia law court after the prosecution proved a drug trafficking case against her. The woman was found guilty of trafficking in narcotic drugs contrary to section 4(a)(ii) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act No.4 of 2022.
The court ordered her to pay a fine of Ksh50 million to avoid the jail term.
This comes after her arrest on March 10, 2023, at Busia One Border Point with 3.9 kg of heroin with a street value of Ksh 11.8 million.
