A woman was on Friday charged with smuggling 22 Ethiopian nationals into the country contrary to the Kenyan Citizenry and immigration act. Ayato Iribo Wato, was charged before Kibera senior principal magistrate Derrick Kuto where she denied the charges. The charge sheet read in court says that she committed the offense on August 27 at around 5PM at Chokaa in Kayole Sub-county within Nairobi County. The Ethiopian national lacked legal permits that allowed them in Kenya, the charge sheet says. Ironically, she was charged after the same Ethiopian nationals pleaded guilty to being in the Country illegally.
