The Court of Appeal of Kenya has proposed a law change to lower the age of consent to 16 years.

Three judges, Roselyn Nambuye, Daniel Musinga and Patrick Kiage, ruled that time was ripe for the country to consider changing the Sexual Offences Act, citing lengthy jail terms imposed on young men convicted of defilement.

They made the observation in a case where they reversed a 15-year sentence slapped on a man who had impregnated a 17-year-old girl.

According to the judges, the country should discuss challenges of maturing children, morality, autonomy, protection of children and the need for proportionality in punishing sex pests.

They said debate on lowering age of sexual consent was long overdue as men were languishing in jail for sleeping with teens “who were willing to be and appeared to be adults”.


The judges referred to the sentences as an unfolding tragedy.
In the case, Eliud Waweru was jailed after he impregnated a girl who had just completed Form Four.

Waweru and the girl’s father agreed on a Sh80,000 dowry in the presence of the area chief after the girl eloped with the man.

It is only after he failed to pay the money that he was arrested and charged.
