A pastor and his son have been placed on probation for three years after being convicted of assaulting a self-proclaimed prophet in Eldoret following a long-running land dispute.
Eldoret Senior Resident Magistrate Kimani Mukabi on Monday ordered Alfred Juma Nandasaba, a pastor with the Word of Resurrection Church, and his son, Samuel Wekesa Juma, to serve a three-year probation term in Uasin Gishu County.
The court also directed the two convicts to pay Sh100,000 to the complainant, Berita Wafula, to cover medical expenses incurred following the assault.
Magistrate Mukabi further ordered the investigating officer attached to Baharini Police Station, who handled the case, to ensure the two report to the station as required during the probation period.
The court directed that the pastor and his son maintain peace and good conduct throughout the three years and refrain from interfering with or threatening the complainant.
