Bungoma, Kenya: A 39-year-old man
from Chemche village, Kanduyi constituency has been charged with incest and
impregnating his daughter. A Bungoma court heard that Philip Nalianya, the
Bukembe West Ward office manager has been sleeping with his 14-year- daughter
for over two years after his wife died in 2013. The victim, who is four months
pregnant said her father has been forcing her to have sex with him every night
and warned her of dire consequences if she dared reveal it to anybody. "My
father has even denied me a chance to join a secondary school despite
performing well in KCPE. In 2013, I did well but he forced me to repeat, last
year I performed very well but he is adamant that if I join a boarding secondary
school, it will deny him a chance to enjoy sex with me," she said in
court. Principal Magistrate Peter Areri released the suspect on a Sh20,000 cash
bail or Sh100,000 bond. Bungoma County Woman Representative Reginalda Wanyonyi
condemned the court for its lenient penalty. "There is something wrong
with our justice system, how can such a culprit be released for so little
money?" she posed.
