MPs lobby for castration
Two Kenyan parliamentarians are winning public support for their proposed legal amendment that repeat sexual offenders be chemically castrated. Adelenia Mwau and Njoki Ndung’u, supported by the other 20 female MPs, will table a Bill to this effect when Parliament reopens next month. Confronted with a marked increase in reported cases of child sexual abuse, there is a public clamour for tougher action against offenders.
