Magistrate Tuhimbise said that she fined Shs25,0000 having considered the health and rights of her newborn baby as opposed to those of Watoto Church leaders who wanted Nanangwe to serve a custodial sentence coupled with months of counselling.

However, she noted that Nanangwe did a regrettable action of stealing from church instead of going there to repent, and therefore she deserves rehabilitation.

In case she fails to raise the Shs250,000 fine, she will have to serve a five-month prison sentence.
