A man was arrested on Thursday for allegedly defiling a nine-year-old school girl at Huruma estate in Uasin Gishu County.
The incident happened after the man, who is said to be working at the homestead, showed the child a pornographic video.
Eldoret West OCPD Samuel Mutunga confirmed that the suspect, who was arrested after the incident was being held at Baharini police post awaiting charges.
Mutunga said that child was referred to Eldoret Moi Teaching and Referral hospital for further medication after being rushed to Huruma medical clinic to be checked on.
Mutunga condemned the act urging parents to be aware of the people they employ at their homes.
He advised parents to be vigilant on knowing where their children are, and said there was need to create public awareness on sex offences.
