A school director from a private institution in Garissa sentenced to 35 years in jail for sodomizing a form two student.
In a historic decision, a Garissa court sentenced the director of a private school in the county to 35 years in prison for sodomizing a secondary school student.
Garissa Resident Magistrate Shadrack Otuke found Hussein Hassan Ali guilty of robbing the innocence of the 17-year-old boy who was a student at Mwangaza Private Primary and Secondary Schools, where he was also serving as a principal.
The accused was given a 35-year prison sentence by Garissa Resident Magistrate Shadrack Otuke after declaring that the prosecution’s case had persuaded him.

“Having mentioned the judiciary sentencing guidelines above which I find persuasive, and considering the high court’s provisions in my view, the accused should be locked up and be accountable for his own actions. The accused is hereby sentenced to 35 years imprisonment in custody,” ruled the court.
The magistrate noted that the accused was armed at the time he committed the offence.
“I have noted that the accused was armed with a sword when he was committing the offence and the accused obliged due to threats that the accused may harm or kill him indeed in my view the accused abused his position to commit the offence,” added the judge.
The sentencing brings to a close the case that has been going on at the Garissa law courts since November 2021.
The victim who was in Form 2 then has since been transferred to a secondary in Malindi.
