A man who sold a carton of soil to another man pretending it was cooking fat has been jailed for six months. Edward Kamau obtained Sh1,100 from Joseph Maina by pretending he would sell him a carton of Bidco cooking fat. He committed the offence on January 3 at Madanda in Gatanga. Prosecutor Shadrack Mbila said Kamau went to Maina's house and told him he would supply him with the cooking fat. He later brought Maina a sealed carton and was paid the money. Kamau was convicted by resident magistrate K Wesley Cheruiyot.
