What petty crime will get you in Kenya

When in Kenya, don’t steal books. Or in this case, a book. Especially if it’s by US televangelist, Joel Osteen.
Charles Ndung’u Kinyanjui walked into a supermarket on January 19th and, presumably needing some self-help, but unable to afford it, slipped a copy of It’s Your Time under his arm and attempted to flea.
It certainly was his time as he received three months for the petty crime. Three months!
Oddly, and without irony, this passes as news in one of Kenya’s national papers.

    I feel he would be committing a worse crime if he actually PAID for the thing.

    Joel Olsteen makes me feel stabby.
