Young damsel stalls traffic to get steamy kisses going

A young woman has been fined some 20k-in this dry, January month-apparently because she couldn't control her passions and had to stop in the middle of a road to make out with her boyfriend.

From court proceedings, police alleged the 26-year-old woman and her man had interrupted the flow of traffic somewhere around Thika Road Mall when things got too steamy. When police intervened, the young woman insulted them using words and expressions that cannot be repeated in a family paper. Appearing before a Makadara court this week, she was fined for creating a disturbance and offensive conduct. Both charges carry a Sh10,000 fine or six months imprisonment. It's not clear why the man was not charged, or even who between the two was driving at the time of the incident.
