A small-scale tea farmer in Kericho County, Kenya has been admitted to hospital in critical condition after he reportedly chopped off his private parts in a fit of rage.
Cheating, as marriage counsellors point out, is an offence that many couples don’t easily forget. However, the worst feeling is being falsely accused.
According to Sylvester Sigei, the Getarwet Sub-County assistant chief, the man used a kitchen knife on himself after being accused of cheating.
He was accused of “satisfying other village women, especially widows, while neglecting his own”.
Sigei said: “
The man, Sigei said, has four acres under tea. His family says that they have never enjoyed the tea bonus paid by the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) despite working on the farm.
“Among the accusations levelled at the man is that he has used his tea bonus to construct a permanent house for a widow he intends to inherit yet his family does not have a good house.”
Neighbours, who rushed to the scene on hearing commotion, found the man lying in a pool of his own blood.
