Monday, October 6, 2025 - A night of partying in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area has landed a city man in trouble after he failed to pay a staggering hotel bill of KSh 32,760.
Qurine Omondi Muteshi was sentenced to two months
in jail or a fine of KSh 30,000 after pleading guilty to obtaining
credit by false pretence at Vibanda Village Hotel on October 3rd.
According to court reports, Omondi checked into the hotel in
high spirits and began ordering food, water and alcohol for himself and his
friends.
As the night went on, the celebration spiraled out of
control - and so did the bill.
When it came time to pay, Omondi allegedly sneaked out
without settling the bill.
The hotel management reported the incident, leading to his
arrest.
In court, Omondi admitted he got carried away by the
excitement.
“I had money but became too high and was surrounded by
ladies asking for drinks. When I came back to my senses, everyone was gone -
and I was left with the bill,” he told the court.
He pleaded for forgiveness, explaining that he was still
“learning the ways of Nairobi.”
However, Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina ruled that
failure to pay for services was a crime, sentencing him accordingly.
