Son To Matuga MP Becomes The Second Child Of A Prominent Person To Be Sentenced To Death For Petty Theft By A Kenyan Court (Photos)

The last time I checked, MPs were still earning a six figure salary. Why on earth would a son of an MP hold a knife to steal from common citizen????

Mafanikio Mwanyoha aka Fani Hussein became the second child of a prominent person to be sentenced to death by a Kenyan court.

In 2013, William David Tett , son of former assistant minister Betty Tett, was sentenced to death for violently robbing his father William Mulready Tett, at gunpoint in their Karen home.

Mafanikio Mwanyoha is the son of Matuga MP Hassan Mwanyoha. The uncanny son robbed a tourist, Peter Schadwsky, while armed with a knife at Bougan Villa estate in Diani on August 19, 2015.

Kwale senior principal magistrate Cosmas Maundu issued the death verdict on Tuesday as he gave the accused 14 days to appeal the sentence.

Mafanikio was charged alongside his accomplice Ali Hassan. The two robbed Peter his bag, LG phone, a pair of spectacles and a company ID card and five credit cards.

His father doesn’t give him pocket money seriously????
