Liom on why Bunya Jalong was acquitted by the Court of Appeal



Augustine Liom explains why Bunya Jalong was acquitted

After so much furore, I feel compelled to emerge out of reticence to make some clarifications and to present a more balanced picture relating to the case, particularly, when the Honourable and learned panel of Judges of the Court of Appeal are in no position to go out to the open to explain their decision.

In fairness to them, they did, before pronouncing their verdict and after a lengthy deliberation, expressed, in the hearing of all those in Open Court, that they found the case very disturbing that a young girl got pregnant through a non-sexual intercourse activity but our law being such that sexual intercourse means only penile penetration their hands are tied and they could only leave it to the legislators to effect any amendment to the law if deemed necessary.
