Lopsided laws driven by feminist agendas

This law was very timely and we'll thought out by hon. Njoki ndungu.

Like a mentioned in another thread, talk to any high school teacher and they will tell you of horror stories that have befallen their colleagues who dared touch the randy girls under their care.

The law was made to protect our young girls.

But now it's application in criminal proceedings has resulted in undesirable outcomes like the cases you have mentioned.

Luckily, this matter was discussed extensively during the recent judges colloquium, and they were all unanimous something needs to be amended.

The AG promised action.

But for now, advise your son to keep off girls. This law has destroyed the lives of a number of teenage boys.

Some of the laws being passed in Kenya these days would make Justice Miller smile in his grave.

Ati to protect young girls, we destroy young boys.

If this law was around during Kenyatta's time, some of you people would not have been born.

Another stupid law that needs to go to the annals of sahau.

From2011 when you use the words Honorable to a law that persecutes one for being born a certain sex, we have serious problems.

I'm now convinced that the people crafting Kenyan laws these days are day dreamers or high school dropouts who paid to go to law school and got sponsors on the way up.

There is no other reason that someone can even come up with a law that says speeding is 30k pap. Jinga sana. I'd rather give the cop 1k. I can speed 26 times on that highway and still have enough to take a quarter to the nagging one.

Hehehe. Its hard to disagree with you on that one.....

These guys are in a lot of trouble. This bill was specifically crafted to protect minors from sex pests. You will remember one of its most powerful clauses is in its definition of a legal guardian.

The parents of these girls cannot make an out-of-court deal with the mcas. Anyone can simply walk to court and be recognised as the complainant. Even a neighbour.

The fact that young boys have been caught by the net shouldn't blind us from seeing the good in a tough law.

In nyeri a guy married a 17yr old girl in a customary wedding complete with dowry. He was arrested and jailed for 15 years. Even when the girl and her parents testified on his behalf, the magistrate was not moved. He was only released on appeal after one year in prison.

Moral : don't touch under 18.

lol

I am sensing a bit of selective amnesia here. Young girls were being molested everywhere. And all it took was for elders to sit down with both families and agree on a cash settlement.

That was the background of the law. Where is @maka to explain this jurisprudence stuff. Ana alipotelea huko kwa t-bills.

Those of us who schooled in the village know what terror randy teachers unleashed on the early bloomers in upper primary school. In my village there is one who sired over ten kids with his pupils. On each occasion, elders would agree on a settlement. After the new law came to effect, the guy had to resign after a children's officer came down hard on him. He was avoiding a ocurt case. And just like that a paedophile and sex pest was stopped by the new act.

Disclaimer : I don't have sons. Just lovely girls. Tell your sons to wait until my girls are 18. Otherwise, they will have to continue their landing in prison. Only this time, they will be the girls.

The law should be declared null and void as it discriminates against the boy child.

Boss, I guess you grew up in Nairobi.

You should read the kind of material cradle had prepared. Very depressing cases and just when cradle was taking them up, the parents of the victim would cut a deal and cradle would watch helplessly as the paedophiles walk away free.

You would be shocked to learn that njoki ndungu got overwhelming support for the bill in the house. Only the late otieno kajwang had objected and the backlash was so severe he had to retract.

Ok now I can see some villages have lunatics as members. From the rapists to the "elders" to the parents.

If you try something like that in the village I'm supposed to come from, you won't live for a very long time. But I guess people are different.

That's why I don't agree that since some villages have horny old men, we go ahead and punish our village which only has randy teenagers.

Or maybe this is a law that is supposed to create a new law in the backdoor. If you are not a virgin below the age of 18 you shall go to jail for xxxx years.

Be serious...Arresting boys in gishagi for having a normal part of human biology with their age-mates and calling them pedophiles for the rest of their lives is just plain evil.

It's like some woman in these NGO's was trying to revenge for all the days she was not screwed while her friends were partaking in the "nyeki"
