A court has sentenced two men to three years in jail for stealing school tablets and laptops worth Sh3.5 million from Lunga Lunga's Mwena Primary School.

Salim Kassim and Ramadhan Rai arrested last month over the offence.

They on Friday pleaded guilty before Senior Resident Magistrate Betty Koech.

"I have considered the mitigation given by the accused and seems not to have understood the value of the devices to the future of the pupils of that community," said the magistrate while delivering the judgement.
