is what made him ask the complainant and her siblings do piece work at his house
carrying bricks so that they could get money for their up keep. It was his evidence
that he had refused to lend money to PW2, father of the complainant to buy a
phone and that it was because of that this charge was looked up this story. It was
his evidence that PW1 always spent time at his house because his own home had
not food and she would eat vendor’s food without paying for it.
DW2 testified that she and others have done piece work for the appellant on
several occasions and PW1 was one of them. On all the occasions PW1 did not
come earlier than everybody else and there was no time that she saw appellant
come to the work site with PW1.
It was her evidence that she and her friend were always the first to arrive at the
plot for work. On one occasion PW1 had been hired to do work inside the house
of the appellant and DW2 and others raised their concerns about this and queried
PW1 about it. PW1 told DW2 that the appellant had sent PW1 to do the work
inside his house but the work was completed the same day. PW1 reported to
appellant about the concerns raised by DW2 and her friends and the following day
appellant addressed them on the issue and the issue was resolved.
DW3 testified that she used to do piece work with DW2 and PW1 and three
others and no occasion did the appellant accompany PW1 to the work site, nor
did he supervise the work on site and it is impossible therefore to imagine that
the appellant had sex with the complainant.
