Residents of Maranga village in Nyamecheo, Nyaribari Chache in Kisii County are yet to come into terms after a man impregnated his niece who is an orphan.
Locals said, James Nyabuto, who has been taking care of the class 7 girl impregnated her and kicked her out of his home.
“Ongeri must be arrested and be prosecuted because, for over 10 years, the girl has been living in his home after her parents died and after her parents died she took advantage of her and impregnated her before he kicked her out of his home on grounds that she is a prostitute,” said Teresa Magero.
Area local administrator Ronald Birundu confirmed the incident and said the girl who has since moved to live with her grandmother revealed that Nyabuto started sleeping with her when she was in class 5.
Birundu said the man has been summoned to appear in his office for more questioning before any arrest is made.
A local children activist Clifford Omae said legal action must be taken against the man.
“People like Nyabuto should be sent to jail for good. It is time authorities arrest the suspect who is still walking free in the village and ensure the girl gets justice,” he said.
