A 14-year-old girl from Machakos County gave birth to a baby boy after she conceived following alleged repeated defilement by her biological father in February 2018.
The girl's younger sister aged five was also taken to hospital for reconstructive surgery following repeated defilement by the man they called 'dad'.
The two minors found themselves at their father's mercy after he chased away from home their mother following persistent domestic squabbles.
For about two years now, the man sexually abused the underage daughters in a wicked case of the most glaring act of incest.
According to Machakos Sub County Children's officer, Emily Kimanzi, the two minors were rescued early this year from their home in Machakos Town constituency and taken to children rescue centers in Nairobi and Limuru respectively.
Last week, this writer visited a popular children's home in Nairobi's Runda estate where the elder girl had been receiving prenatal care before she suddenly experienced labor pains and was rushed to the hospital where she delivered a baby boy.
The girl narrated how her father forcefully raped and threatened her with death should she disclose the matter to anybody.
"He forced me to be sleeping with him and told me he would kill me if I report him to anybody," she said.
The girl disclosed that her father stopped defiling her when he discovered she had conceived and was around three months pregnant.
At that point, the girl revealed her father turned to the five-year-old young girl and continued defiling her.
But the girl's biggest worry is how she and her sibling will deal with challenges of life that are staring at both of them.
"Our lives have been completely destroyed. We don't know where to go and how we will continue with our education. We wish our parents would reunite and bring us up with love just like other children out there," she said while crying.
According to Ms. Kimanzi, the two minors had been living with their father after their mother ran away from their home in 2015.
"In most of these cases where children are abused, it is common to find that the mother figure is missing and that is why we are calling on the society to be extra vigilant to identify and report such matters to the authorities," Kimanzi said.
At the rescue centers, Ms. Kimanzi said the children had been taken through counseling sessions as well as medical check-ups in a bid to restore both their physical and emotional health.
She revealed the said man had been arrested and is currently in police custody awaiting formal charges when investigations are completed.
"The matter is currently with the police who have arrested the suspect and we expect the case to proceed in court once social workers and legal officers compile all relevant information to prosecute the case," she said.
