It came as a surprise,a law enforcer being the one in Jail  this round.

Few days ago,a high Court registrar was jailed for 7 days after Sh13.3 million exhibits could not be retrieved from him then.

Joseph nKiverenge served seven days in jail from January 3 to 10 after he failed to produce the money which was for verification before Justice Alexander Muteti.

This was in an appeal lodged by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) at the Milimani Law Courts challenging the acquittal of the two suspects behind the infamous Dubai Mall Heist of 2018, which saw a staggering Sh140 million stolen.

The trial magistrate had ordered the return of the recovered Sh13.3 million, but when the money was required for verification as part of the appeal process by the DPP, Kiverenge, responsible for safeguarding the exhibit, failed to produce it.
