News about the form one blind girl that was raped and impregnated leading to her miscarriage was received with shock fury as Kenyans expressed their fury over men who sexually assault girls with impunity.
The school where the girl was schooling knew of her girls condition two weeks after admission but the principal pledged to help the girl resume her studies after she fully heals.
The Kapenguria School of the Blind principal David Losil confessed the institution was ready to re -admit the girl.
The Form One girl reportedly miscarried while in school.
The principal said the student was rushed to hospital two weeks after reporting for her first term.
“We discovered that the girl was pregnant barely two weeks after admitting her to the institution. We later learnt that she miscarriaged according to the medical report obtained from the hospital. But we are willing to re admit her back to continue with her education,” Mr Losil said.
He said they have condemned the heinous act done to her and called for justice to prevail because this is a case of abuse of disable persons.
Losil said the institution was not aware who was responsible of her pregnancy since the incident happened outside the institution.
Police confirmed that the case was booked at Kakuma police station in Turkana West Sub County with the OB number 42/1/2/2019.
Kakuma police boss Joseph Cheruiyot said the suspect was arrested and took plea in court.
“I am aware of the incident. We arrested the suspected and arraigned him in court. The suspect is now a remandee at Lodwar GK prison,” Mr Cheruiyot said.
