An incident in which a parent accepted Sh20,000 from a policeman in Kiungu area, Lamu County as compensation after defiling her daughter has sparked uproar among locals and leaders.
The matter has attracted the attention of Lamu Woman Representative, Ruweida Obo, and she is not happy at all. Despite vowing to pick up the case to ensure it ends up in court, the leader has decried the mushrooming of kangaroo courts for defilement and rape cases.
