Proverb

Wa kĩrimũ, ũtũraga kĩharo.

Translation

The case of a fool takes a long time to settle.

Comment

The original proverb is metaphorical and purports that it is futile to subject a fool to a lawsuit because he has no knowhow to argue out his case even when innocent. The postproverbial plainly shows that attending such a case is simply not worth attending because it is a waste of time and energy.
