Homa Bay chief who canes randy couples caught in the act outdoors

"I don’t want to be loved. They have to stop this promiscuous behaviour."

A chief in Homa Bay County has taken it upon himself to discipline randy couples. Bob Lang’o, the chief of Arujo location in Homa Bay canes anyone who is caught having sex in public or sleeping with someone’s spouse. The no-nonsense chief, feared by many, says the spread of HIV in the area is rampant and he wants to change peoples’ behaviour.  He claims he has resorted to this strange method of punishment since most residents are notorious and vichwa ngumu.

“The spread of HIV is very high. I want to teach residents a lesson. Most of them are married people and that annoys me. I don’t want to be loved. They have to stop this promiscuous behaviour,” he warned.
