Last year, a 43-year-old Tanzanian woman pleaded guilty to charges of human trafficking before a Milimani court.
Kwandu Cheye was charged with transporting a seven-year-old disabled child to Kenya to use her for labour. She committed the offence in May.
Cheye pleaded guilty before chief magistrate Francis Andayi. However, Andayi i declined to admit Cheye's plea because the offence is serious. It attracts a minimum of 30 years in jail.
The magistrate explained the seriousness of the charges and warned her of the penalties. But Cheye maintained her plea.
Andayi directed the state to offer legal aid to Cheye.
