Presiding Magistrate John Nsomba of Nchalo Magistrate Court observed that donkeys are power animals that are used to generate income for farmers adding that the owner had suffered a permanent loss on one of the Donkeys
He then added that Kandiyero deserved a stiffer punishment from the crime he committed hence sentencing him to three years imprisonment with hard labor
