Elizabeth Michael Lulu will gladly serve the two-year prison sentence the court handed her. The Tanzanian actress says it was God’s decision that she goes to prison.
Lulu has made it clear that she’s satisfied with High Court ruling delivered on Monday November 13th. Her lawyer Peter Kibatala had indicated that he would appeal the ruling.
Lulu’s fellow actor and a very close friend Muhsin Awadh popularly known as Dk Cheni, has opened up about the actress’ decision not to appeal her prison sentence.
Dk Cheni says Lulu was shocked by her conviction but accepted it anyway. Dk has been with Lulu since the begging of her trial.
“Kusema ukweli Lulu alijua lolote linaweza kutokea ila la kufungwa ni kama hakulipa kipaumbele sana, jaji alipomaliza kusoma hukumu alishtuka kama sisi wengine wote lakini ajabu alikuwa wa kwanza kurudi katika hali ya kawaida na kutoa kauli za ujasiri,” Dk Cheni said.
Two years is a short time
Lulu doesn’t want to fight the court’s decision because her prison term is short. Dk Cheni says the actress instructed her family not to appeal the court sentence.
“Sipingani na maamuzi ya Mungu, haya ni maamuzi yake na nimekubaliana nayo. Ana makusudi yake kunipa hiki kilichotokea leo. Acheni miaka miwili siyo mingi, sitaki kupingana na mahakama , naheshimu maamuzi ya mahakama, acheni nitumikie kifungo changu,” Lulu was quoted saying by Dk Cheni.
