Court Arraigns Man For Calling Businesswoman 'Pr*stitute, Dog’

The suspect, George Ndung'u Kagunyi

 A court has arraigned a middle-aged man on Friday, May 27, for allegedly calling a businesswoman unprintable names in Kenya.

George Ndung'u Kagunyi is accused of calling the trader identified as Reginah Mwangi, a pr*stitute and a dog, at the Ngara-Equity roundabout.

Appearing before Milimani Chief Magistrate Wendy Micheni, Kagunyi pleaded not guilty to using abusive words to Reginah Mwangi in a public place with intent to provoke a breach of peace.

"On May 20, 2022, at Ngara Equity roundabout in Nairobi county, being in a public place with intent to provoke a breach of peace used threatening words namely 'Malaya, Mbwa, Nenda ut*mbwe na chokora' to one Reginah Mwangi a business lady," the charge sheet read in part.

He was freed on Ksh5,000 cash bail pending a hearing of the matter.

The magistrate, however, advised the man to seek an out of court settlement with the complainant.
