A situation involving a person engaging in inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor unfolded when a crowd became aware of the incident and confronted the perpetrator at a local hotel. This individual, identified as Rashid, who was known for such behavior, was met with anger from the crowd, armed with various crude weapons, as they forcibly entered the hotel room where he was found with a schoolboy.
It is important to note that while a portion of the crowd demanded Rashid’s punishment, there were others who opted for a more measured approach, seeking to ask him questions. During the intense questioning, the young boy involved admitted to being a second-year student (Form Two).
The hotel manager expressed his displeasure, as Rashid’s actions had resulted in the soiling of the bedding with feces, further complicating the situation.
The incident was captured on video and shared online by several individuals, including former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko. He used the opportunity to call for a decisive response to homosexuality, expressing concerns that it might erode traditional values. Sonko tweeted, “Usonga should be prohibited here in Kenya before it messes with our young generation. So far, I have rewarded 96k to a group of three people who shared a video of a male individual caught red-handed in a guest house having an affair with another man.”
This incident highlights the complexities and various perspectives surrounding issues related to sexual misconduct, and it has sparked a wider societal conversation regarding how to address such matters in Kenya.
