Amos Mugambi, a 30-year-old man from Meru County, has asked to be jailed on behalf of National Youth Service (NYS) scandal suspect Ann Ngirita.
The man from Igembe South constituency has pleaded for the woman accused of fraudulently receiving Ksh59 Million from NYS arguing that she is too beautiful to face jail time.
Mugambi who clarified that he had never met Ms Ngirita in person explained that he had watched how police raided her home and was displeased.
"I’m pleading with the government that a woman known as Ann Ngirita… I am ready for any crime she has committed to be pinned on me. Even if that means a jail sentence of 100 years.

"I ask for her (Ngirita) to be released. That is not the face of someone that should be in jail. I am ready for a life sentence or execution by firing squad so long as she released," he pleaded.
The smitten man added: "I saw how the police raided her home and I do not think that was right. Let me be jailed on her behalf."
Mugambi further expressed his wish to meet the woman in person.
The Ksh59 Million beneficiary was remanded at the Lang'ata Women's Prison on May 29, 2018, as she waits for a court ruling on a number of applications and the pre-trial conference before Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti on June 5, 2018.
Along with three of her family members, the Ngirita's are jointly accused of acquiring Ksh300 Million from NYS under the trading name Annwaw Investment without supplying any items.
Principal Secretary Lillian Omollo, who was also remanded, suddenly fell ill on Wednesday and was rushed to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
