A man who shot to the limelight for appearing at accident scenes to give witness accounts has been jailed for impersonating a military officer.

Kwale Resident Magistrate Patrick Wambugu sent Dennis Muigai to Kwale GK Prison for one and a half years following a trial that began about three years ago, and which he had absconded several times last year prompting the court to issue arrest warrants.
