[Human rights activists at a past function. An activist wants rape case of 14 year old girl revisited] ( Photo/the-star.co.ke)A human rights activist from Garissa County has asked police to conduct fresh investigations into a rape case of a 14 year old girl who is said to have been impregnated by a neighbor.
The girl, who hails from Bura East, was preparing to sit for her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) before the incident happened.
According to the activist, Hassan Ismail, the girl is young and she deserves justice following the heinous act. Ismail also said that the future of this girl is at stake following the rape incident, which he argues has tortured her mentally.
“We are talking of a schoolgirl whose future hangs in the balance, her education has been cut short,” he said yesterday.
Senior assistant DPP James Opundo had earlier on watered down the charges leveled against the man behind the matter on grounds that “it was not safe to charge the accused”.
The DPP claimed that the prosecution of the accused lacks logic because of inadequate evidence to back up the case.
“After careful analysis of the statement of the witness together with the supportive evidence, I have noted that the same is materially at variance, raising issues of credibility”.
On his part, Fafi police boss John Ogola said that they cannot comment on the matter following the letter, adding that they will ensure Justus is served.
