A 30-year-old man has gone into hiding after impregnating his 16-year-old step-daughter in Kiogoro, Kisii County.
Raphael Mose escaped from home on Tuesday after Nyumba Kumi officials went to his house to arrest him.
"Mose has been having illicit sex with the girl until early last month when the girl dropped out of school due to pregnancy. Upon questioning, the girl revealed that Mose was responsible," said the girl's elder brother James Mogendi.
Mogendi said their parents died 3 years ago and they have been living alone.
Area chief, Charles Obae said the suspect will not go far and assured that the girl will deliver the baby and go back to school to complete her studies.
"The girl was in form 2 and she is a bright girl who will not be allowed to drop school. She will give birth and go back to school but, the suspect will have to be arrested even if it takes 20 years from now," he said.
The chief said his office will not condone men who impregnate small girls in the area saying the law will cut across all lines.
