Swiss Tourist fined for racist rants in Kenya

nairobi_3.jpgNairobi - A Kenyan court fined a Swiss tourist 10 000 shillings (about R1 100) for calling two policemen "black monkeys", Daily Metro newspaper reported on Friday. Valentine Buchli paid the fine after being convicted on Thursday for breaching public peace by using the comment in the coastal town of Kilifi in October last year.

"In future, this court will take serious action against such offenders," magistrate Peter Kiama warned.

Kenya has no specific law against racism and it is argued that it is high time rules were enacted to deal with this blatant type of racism and prejudice.
