A 36-year-old man has been arraigned for allegedly
having carnal knowledge of his 13-year old
stepdaughter and impregnating her.
Gregory Mwatu Munyao alias Boniface, is alleged to
have committed the offence during Covid-19 lockdown
at their residence in Kasarani, Nairobi.
“You are charged that on diverse dates between
March 2020 and June 18, 2020, at Kasarani within
Nairobi County, intentionally and unlawfully caused
your genital organ to penetrate the genital organs of
INI, a child aged 13 years,” a charge sheet read in part
to him in court.

Gregory who appeared before Milimani Law Courts’
Principal Magistrate Gilbert Shikwe however denied
having carnal knowledge of his stepdaughter.
While being led in his sworn defence by his counsel,
Gregory disassociated himself from the offence and
instead insisted on how he tried to instill discipline in
her.
“I told my wife to caution our daughter who was class
7 at Kasarani Primary School against coming home
late from school,” he lamented.
He further told the court that he paid school fees for
his step-daughter even when she was living with her
grandmother before joining them at Kasarani.

When she testified in court, the complainant who has
since given birth to twins told the court that her father
used to sneak in her bedroom, undress her and do the
ill act and later threaten to kill her if she ever
disclosed it to her mother.
The magistrate heard that the pregnancy was
discovered by her mother.
The court heard that the mother rushed to a nearby
pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test kit to confirm
her fears.

After the pregnancy confirmation, her 13-year-old
daughter confessed everything. The other later
escorted her to a nearby hospital and later to Kasarani
police station to report the incident.
The matter is coming up for final submissions on
March 25, 2022.
