Com. Ibrahim Lethome What about the raping men<br />

Mr. Kinyua: We have never heard raping men here in Laikipia because. Mostly women are the ones who are raped. Again<br />

robbery with violence because it is in the this particular place, should be penalized by death. Thogh it is there, we have been<br />

having cases whereby such people have been taken to court. They are left for 3, 4 years, then finally we find them back in the<br />

villages. This one should not take place anymore.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome Thank you very much. The nuclear family, I am assuming that is the father, mother and the children<br />

irrespective <strong>of</strong> sex. Is that correct And irrespective whether the girls are married or not<br />

Mr. Kinyua: To that particular point. If the girl is married, let me elaborate on that. if the girl is married she should not inherit<br />

the parents property. But if she is not married she has that particular right <strong>of</strong> inheritance.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome Why<br />

Mr. Kinyua: Because we are leaving in the times when the girls were used to be called useless people. You know sometimes<br />

ago we used to say that they must get married. But because these days most <strong>of</strong> them never get married. I think they need to<br />

have a right, to living well like even the other boys in the family.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome What if they get it on the other side<br />

Mr. Kinyua: Because those are the rules that are there in the African Culture.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome Suppose then should they divorce and she has to come back home. What happens to her She will<br />

not inherit any land. yes, because she married some man and the man above the authority<br />

Mr. Kinyua: Just incase she divorces completely, I think the boys or the people who were left there, have the right to decide<br />

whether they will give her something or not.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome My daughter’s inheritance is (inaudible) I die at that time. when she is going to get married. She has<br />

already inherited from me.<br />

Mr. Kinyua: That property ought to go back to her family.
