Former Youth Fund chairman Gor Semelang’o will spend 30 days behind bars for defaulting on a Sh3.6 million loan.
The flashy businessman took the said loan in 2015 from George Miyare, who in return turned to the courts to help him get his money back.
Consequently, Semelang’o was apprehended on Tuesday and later presented in a Milimani Magistrate’s court which ordered that he is committed to a civil jail for 30 days without an option of bailing himself out.
The court also ordered the complainant to pay for the accused’s up keep while behind bars.

“Whereas the said Evans Gor Semelang’o has neither obeyed the decree nor satisfied the court that he can he is entitled to be discharged from custody: you are hereby commanded and required to take and receive the said Evans Gor Semelang’o into civil prison and keep him imprisoned there in for a period of 30 days,” the court order directed to officer in charge Industrial Area GK Prison read.
