Kenyan Ibrahim Akasha is expected to be sentenced today by a US court that found him guilty of drug trafficking three months ago.

His sentencing follows that of his elder brother Baktash Akasha, who was handed a 25-year jail term and a fine of Sh10 million by Presiding Judge Victor Marrero at the US district court in New York.
