Two Tanzanian beggars who were convicted for being in the country unlawfully without a valid permit will be deported. Samuel Paul Masanja and Margaret Yohana pleaded guilty on Tuesday before Narok resident magistrate Adeline Sisenda. The court was told that the two, who were beggars in Narok town, were in the country illegally to solicit for funds from well-wishers because they have disabilities. "The culprits will remain in custody of the police until they are handed over to the immigration officials for deportation to their country," ordered the magistrate. They were arrested on February 12, 2019, at around 12 noon in Narok town after the residents informed the police of their presence.
