A court in Nairobi yesterday handed a former hospital employee 25 years in jail after finding him guilty of child trafficking.

Fred Leparan, who worked at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital as a social worker, was on Wednesday also ordered to attend 10 years of supervised community service after cooling his heels behind bars.
