It is depressing. I feel for the victim of such carelessness. You see, we are all different. And because of difference in us and situation, the law allows for different ways of settling such grave matters. Even if I said we always go for option (1) with no one being given option (2), still @mawinder would come here and call me names. I just listed what the law provides.

I really feel for the mother above. And for her, she chose option (1), no forgiveness. And that's her right. She said she's not forgiving the guy, so the law decided to give the guy whatever number of years in jail.

Coming back home... you know our Kenyan judiciary very well. That's why in my comment above, I said given the circumstances, I would go for option (2), because I wonder how many years Ng'ang'a would go to jail in Kenya? 10yrs? 5 yrs? 2yrs? 1yr?

Even if the pastor goes to jail, some form of restitution would go some way in making things easier for the family. I still root for the law to be followed though I imagine that it will be like the case of Old Mr Delamere. The family of Ole Sisina who was shot by Delamere is still living in penury while the killer served 8 months in prison. What justice is this? Nkt

Seems you have little understanding of the law.
The husband can go to court now even before the conclusion of the traffic case and sue Nganga for damages.He can still wait for the verdict, use the verdict if Nganga is found guilty as evidence in the civil suit and he will be paid.He does not need legal fees upfront as there are many ambulance chasers who can do the job for him and recover from the award.He only needs to choose a reputable one.Remember the Delamere case was a criminal one and not a traffic case which are 2 different cases!!!!!!!!!!!

Mawinder my brother. You are the one whose understanding of things is clouded by bile. Take a pill chill buda! You pursue this thing legally and it is stalled in the courts for ages, then the fellow pours cash at every turn and buys off every witness he can find. You may end up with a few million shillings at the end of a donkey's years but after your kids have suffered like crap. Or finally the judge dismisses the case and laments the poor quality of investigations and disappearing witnesses and/or court files. Or some may be some insurer pays. Pata potea.
