Why were criminals let free?

When Maasai moran’s stormed Enkare Nairowua Girls’ School in Narok South early this month, little did they know they were breaking the law with impunity. The forceful demand for wives is illegal as the secondary school girls are considered minors and are now legally protected from forced early marriages.

The Children’s Act number 8 of 2001, cap 13 (1) says: "A child shall be entitled to protection from physical and psychological abuse, neglect and any other form of exploitation including sale, trafficking or abduction by any person."
