Chief Justice Martha Koome has warned that sexual violence in Kenya amounts to crimes against humanity and urged citizens to confront the vice.
On Wednesday, September 3, Koome questioned why adults commit sexual offences against children, saying such acts are unacceptable under Kenyan law, religious teachings and cultural norms. "Why are we defiling our children and why are we raping boys and girls and women?
That is why the law and Kenyans said in very strong and clear terms that sexual violence is unacceptable in the society, because why would a grown-up man defile a child of six years?
Even animals do not do that," said Koome.
