          The court heard through Balaka Police Station Prosecution Officer, Sub Inspector Gertrude Kafumbula and other prosecutors that the seven accused were on December 1 caught riding their uninsured and unregistered motorcycles without driver’s licenses.

          The seven pleaded guilty to three counts leveled against them; driving a motorcycle without driver’s license, driving an uninsured motorcycle, and driving an unregistered motorcycle contravening Sections 18, 141 and 11 of Road Traffic Act respectively.

          In submission, the state prayed for stiff penalties to teach them and others a lesson.

          Passing judgement, magistrate Boaz ordered each of them to pay K30,000 for driving a motorcycle without driver’s license, K25,000 for driving an uninsured motorcycle, and K30,000 for driving an unregistered motorcycle or in default to serve 18 (eighteen) months IHL each.
