{{Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto has warned members of Provincial Administration in Mt Elgon and other parts of the country, who fail to report cases of child molestation.}}
Ruto said chiefs and assistants chiefs, who fail to identify suspects, who impregnate underage girls will be held liable.
Speaking after an inter-denominational church service at the weekend at Kapsokwony Primary School, Ruto said chiefs must play a critical role to stem the vice.
“For every pregnant schoolgirl, the chiefs and their assistants should be able to identify the culprit responsible. It is against the law and everyone, who engages in sex with minors should be brought to book and put behind bars,” he said.
“We should act tough and deal firmly with the culprits to eradicate this debilitating vice. Once some people are arrested and prosecuted, then it will serve as a deterrent to others.”
