Kenyan Man Who Robbed Chinese Employer Sh30,000 Sentenced to Life Imprisonment
A Kenyan man has been handed a life sentence after he was found guilty of violently robbing his Chinese employer.
Robert Kubasu was accused of forcefully stealing Sh30,000 and a mobile phone from his employer in Kilimani.
The court heard that the accused committed the offense on September 25th, 2019 at Silver Harbour Apartments on Kindaruma road.
This happened after he encountered his employer Chen Daisheng inside an elevator in the apartment block.
“I opened the main door of the unit and all of a sudden I saw Robert removing a panga and started threatening me by waving and shouting a language that I could not understand,” Daisheng told the court.
Daisheng’s housemaid intervened and informed him that Kubasu was demanding Sh30,000. The Chinese national complied and handed the money to the accused, who took his mobile phone before he fled the scene.
“He waved the panga to me and threatened to cut me. He demanded that I give him Sh30, 000 and after that, he ran away,” he added.
Daisheng reported the matter to Kilimani Police Station and the accused was arrested.
While issuing the sentence, Kibera Senior Principal Magistrate Esther Boke said the prosecution proved the case against Kubasu beyond reasonable doubt. Kubasu has been given 14 days to appeal the sentence if he wishes to do so.

He is guilty but the punishment should fit the crime. It's less than $300. It will cost the government way more than that to house, clothe and feed him within the 1st year. Community service would be more fitting. Recently, Kenyatta essentially called Ruto a thief (I believe him since it takes one to know one) and yet nothing is being done. Your outrage should be aimed that way. Besides we know foreigners tend to take advantage of our people. There's a good chance this was the case here.

I have afeeling that there is more to the story.Could it be that the employer had been underpaying him,and this was his way of bringing "equity"...
Anyway, shame on him.If he has kids what will be tell them?Well if the has not thought about it, he will have enough time in jail to think about it.

There is only one sentence prescribed by law for robbery with violence, and that is death. The Magistrate did not explain why she did not follow the law. If he appeals the sentence, the higher Court will follow the law, and send him to the gallows.

I would bet these laws were written before independence by people who considered us then and now sub human. Instead of trying to agitate for more taxpayer money, the MP classes should be fixing colonial era laws like this. Almost 60 years since self government and we can't shake the yoke of the wabeberu

@ Wambui Njoroge, I have to agree with you.What is "violence"?...Strong unpleasant emotions can be described as violence. To some people emotional violence can be equal if not more damaging or harmful to the physical body. Havent we seen people commit suicide...

Comrade Wambui Njoroge,
You will steal more WEARING a suit and a tie carrying a briefcase than having an AK-47 OR a M 16.
I bet non of the so called BILLIONAIRES, namely, the UHURUS, RUTOS, MOIS, SENATORS, GOVERNORS, MPS and GOONS can be a marksman, but how much have they stolen??

Not condoning the crime itself, this is part and puzzle of mental enslavement.
The government is doing all to encourage Chinese investors, who in part bribe the officials who in turn protects them.
I have said it before that KENYA has a set of 2 laws, one for the rich and powerful, and for the MASSES.
Like I had said before, to kill a snake you chop off its head. So we need to START with cases involving, UHURU and goons,RAILA and GOONS, RUTO and GOONS, ALL GOVERNORS, SENATORS, MPS, in short,anyone who has stolen from the MASSES and those who have benefited from it, then we can go after folks STEALING underwear and crap.

These stupid corrupt judges cannot dare sentence the mighty according to the constitution but garagaria has to face the full force of the law. This just is stupid and should be nowhere close to the bench, just no common sense. This guy should not spend even a single night in prison, put him on probation. what if he had killed the chinese guy?these tough laws on crime are specifically for protecting the rich but crimes that are perpetuated by the rich on the poor have fines and mostly go unpunished. Wake up Kenyans

This guy robs a China man 30k and get a life prison term. Another guy who killed 10 Kenyan school girls in a dorm fire gets 5 years in prison. The Kenyan government is really working for its people.

How much has the Chinese stolen from Kenyans. Sorry, the Chinese use a method known as robbery without violence so they can get away with it. I visited Nairobi two years ago the Chinese are patrolling salon businesses hawking human hair. Stealing livelihood from the common mwanachi.
