When bananas ripen, their stems release ethylene gas, and when it spreads to the rest of the fruit, it will quickly cause the fruit to rot.

Milimani senior principal magistrate Esther Kimilu has today convicted Fred Makallah Leparan and Selina Awuor Adundo accused of child trafficking at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital in Embakasi Central within Nairobi two years ago.
The two who are former employees of Nairobi Metropolitan Services had been charged with the offences of selling children from the aforementioned facility. In 2021, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) aired an exposé in which the first accused was caught selling a child for Sh 300,000. Three children were transferred to the buyer who was a BBC undercover agent.
In her judgement, Hon. Kimilu said that the court was satisfied that the prosecution led by Caroline Karimi and Linda Ndambiri proved the case beyond reasonable doubt against the two accused persons.
Fred Makallah Leparan was convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit a felony, namely trafficking in persons, three (3) counts of trafficking in persons, and three (3) counts of child neglect while his co-accused Selina Adundo was convicted on three (3) counts of child neglect. However, the court acquitted her on a count of conspiracy to commit a felony, namely trafficking, as well as three (3) counts of trafficking in persons.
The case will be mentioned on 26th September, 2023 for mitigation and sentencing.

This was a hard post to write.
I almost didn't write it in fact. I've started and trashed this story many times.
But I believe there are important lessons in this story we can learn from.
Warning: this does not have a happy ending.

There’s a powerful urge to think risk is something that happens to other people. Other people get unlucky, other people make dumb decisions, other people get swayed by the seduction of greed and fear. https://t.co/hyY57v6YcZ
