Two men have been sentenced to three years in jail after being found guilty of  stealing digital tablets and laptops valued at Sh3.5 million from Mwena Primary School in Lunga Lunga.

Salim Kassim and Ramadhan Rai are said to have committed the offence last month.

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

"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," Ms Koech said.

The devices were delivered to the school under the Digital Learning Programme.
