The cases take place in the constituency of Ndia, located in the county of Kirinyaga in Kenya. According to sources, Reverend Pastor John Gichira, 51 years old would have impregnated his two daughters aged respectively 14 and 16. The same sources indicate that this religious leader abused his young daughters. So he was tried by the Kenyan courts and sentenced to 140 years of imprisonment.
” I condemn you to 70 years for each offense and you have 14 days to appeal. This Court orders that your names be added to the register of sentenced and dangerous offenders”, has decided the judge.
According to the magistrate, the culprit “will serve 70 years for each count of defilement, the facts must run consecutively”.
