Either way Ng'ang'au is going to spent the said 50M on the court system and bolt out(note; social media does NOT give rulings/judgments in Kenyan courts yet but can influence nonetheless) . My take is, he spends it on the deceased lady's family.

Ng'ang'au he is.

I want to know what he is saying period....can't you read?

hapa niko na @murchr, yaani some are of the opinion that the family be paid - enyewe tuko hapa hapa na sio pale pale for a reason.
The case in in court so the outcome is not known, lakini taking a hypothetical scenario where someone kills my wife, I would never take cash from them as payment - wacha ikae, kwani hii pesa haiwezi tafutwa.

@nakujua, I think that is to rigid stand.

There are two ways out of the problem by law:
1. the law of equality: eye for an eye. The guy to face death sentence.

2. But if any remission is made by the family of the killed woman, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate family with handsome gratitude

A rigid stand will not benefit the family. If he goes to jail, the family will feel satisfied, and nothing more. If he is made to pay blood money, then Ng'nga will feel the pinch and the family will get compensation and feel satisfied.

So I would go for option (2).

What is blood money? Watch this woman then answer

With Alphadoti's reasoning it is okay if my boys rape his mother and he is paid 2m for it.

The court process is still on. He is not free. No problem if he preaches, that was not the issue in the first place, the trial should go on to completion.

Just for my information, how much would you accept if someone killed your wife? Well, probably you dont have one, how much would be enough if someone killed your mother? Put a price tag. Lets see how much any of them is worth to you. Would money give those kids a better life than what they would have had with their mother? Lets put it to perspective, what is the price of a mother for a teenager going through puberty or early adulthood? Would you say you had a very good life because you were raised in money? Did they put an impression that they were lacking?

No doubt it was an accident. But for heavens sake how many laws were broken? Driving while intoxicated, without a valid insurance, then trying to cover up and more so, he still insists he's innocent and the car doesn't even belong to him. If he was in jail for killing the first time, would he have killed this woman? And why do we have MPs to make laws, police to enforce the law and a judiciary to make sure that the laws of the land are followed if we can always pay our way though it? Come on use that piece of matter in your head to think because right now you are not even using any of it.

When i see and smell foolishness i have to call it out. Am sorry if I hurt anyone but come on guys, let due process take its course, this might just be the beginning to the end of impunity. If the judge decides that Ng'ang'a should compensate the family, let it be. But the nonsense of doing it out of court should end.

I guess that comment elicited the kind of emotions that you experienced when they said landlords should pay taxes on income.

At least the landlords never scaled the roof tops to call tenants or other landlord names.
Settling out of court is happening all over the world and it is not just unique to Kenya.
Let us be real here. As of now the case in court is State vs Ng'ang'a where the husband to the dead one is the star witness and the husbands hands are tied here. The husband would like to see this pastor in jail for a long time, but again he would not want that to happen. Remember this is not a murder case. Here the man of cloth will play his cards well with the magistrate and eventually will escape with a very light sentense or fine…the husband will do nothing about it.
However, since a jail term or a fine will not bring the dead one back to life, the husband will definitely sue the pastor for compensation, both himself and the late wife. This is where the out of court negotiations will be done.
Going by latest happenings around Kenya, the husband to the late would rather not have the pastor behind the bars so that he (husband) would have something to collect from Ng'ang'a sooner than later.
