Personally, I have often advocated the death sentence for rapists. Unfortunately, this tough punishment may never come, especially as highly connected people like policemen and politicians are also now 'untouchable rapists.'
The Kenyan Posts reports that a Kenyan senator, Kimano Wamatangi has become a sex predator that takes victims at will.
"Wamatangi has become a but in his village and he has been impregnation school girls and orphans because he is untouchable thanks to his relations with the high and mighty in the Jubilee Government.
In the report, the Senator's alleged randiness was laid out by a minor, identified as Winfred Wangui, who alleged that he had once raped her.
Here is the victim's testimony as reported by Kenyan media.
"I will never forget July 8, 2006. It was my third day at work as a househelp in the Wamatangi household. I can recall the exact time, 1.30pm, because I wanted to watch a programme on television. My boss Wamatangi came home and found his wife with me in the sitting room. He started quarrelling her, demanding to know why she didn’t go to work. I quickly stepped out of the sitting room and went to the kitchen. I could hear them quarrel in English.
I could gather that mzee was not happy. After five minutes, madam left for work, and I was left in the house with Wamatangi. He then summoned me into the living room and asked me to bring him tea. He asked me to sit down and chat. I politely refused and told him I prefer black tea since I didn’t like milk. That was the moment he pulled me next to him and pushed me onto the sofa.
I started screaming and he slapped me on the face. He then used his hand to cover my mouth. I think my screams must have attracted the neighbour next door because I heard someone knock on the door, but they soon left. He forcefully removed my panty and forced himself on me.
I cried bitterly. I had never had sex. I was a virgin. I was saved and a staunch church member."
